Marble Torso of Aphrodite from Ephesus
Museum: Ephesus Museum, Turkey
Date: ca. 1st century
Period: Hellenistic - Roman Imperial
Aphrodite (Greek: Ἀφροδίτη; Latin: Venus) is the classical Greek goddess of love, lust, beauty, and
sexual reproduction. She was also called Kypris and Cytherea after the two places, Cyprus and Cythera,
which claimed her birth. Her Roman equivalent is the goddess Venus. Myrtle, dove, sparrow, and swan
are sacred to her.
This sculpture is identical reproduction of the original ancient masterpiece, now housed by the
prominent museum. The statue is composed from mold made from the original, thus guaranteeing the
highest accuracy of identical reproduction. The reproduction pictured here is made of cast marble, and
is extremely heavy and strong, having a real ancient feel. An ancient patina finishing gives it an
additional historical value (you can choose not to have patina applied and keep it all white if you like).
The statue can be displayed both inside and out, it is weatherproofed.
Item No. S020
Dimensions: height 80 cm (31.5")
$2,490.00
