Helistic bust of a woman, maybe Venus

"Hellenistic bust of a woman, possibly Venus, 400 BC". This female bust probably represents Venus, the Roman goddess of gardens and fields and later equated with Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty. Although revered in Rome, the story of her birth and life comes from Greek myths, and was hardly changed by the Romans. In fact, the only aspect that was changed slightly were the levels of sensuality and cruelty that it showed in the Greek myths and that were softened by the Romans.

Head repaired; the rest in good condition.
