Marble statue of Aphrodite from Perge - Identical Museum Reproduction
Museum: Antalya Museum, Turkey
Date: ca. 2nd century AD
Period: 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.
