- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st century BCE to 1st century CE. A lovely leaded bronze figure of Venus (Greek Aphrodite), the goddess of love and beauty, standing in contrapposto with her right leg bent at the knee and her weight gracefully shifted, her left hand placed over her privates, perhaps a gesture of modesty, and her right hand extended out from her body. The goddess is turning her head ever-so-slightly toward her right, and her tranquil visage is crowned by a rolled back coiffure resolving in a chignon adorned by a diadem and with tendrils gracing her shoulders. Size: 3.375" H (8.6 cm); 4.875" H (12.4 cm) on included custom stand.
