Description:
Dating back to the Roman Empire period, circa 1st century AD, this finely carved marble head depicts a woman or goddess, likely Venus (Aphrodite in Greek mythology), the goddess of love and beauty. The statue is meticulously hand-carved from white marble, exuding elegance and refinement. The figure’s head is slightly tilted to the right, showcasing almond-shaped eyes, delicately chiseled eyebrows extending over a slender nose, and lips that are softly closed, all contributing to a serene expression. The smooth skin and beautifully styled wavy hair, parted in the center and tied at the top with thick fillets, highlight the artist’s skill.
