Summary
| Description |
This is probably a Roman copy of a Greek statue combining the “Aphrodite Anadyomene” type (in which the goddess is shown rising from the sea and adjusting her hair) and the “Aphrodite Pudica” type, in which she holds her drapery around her body, both created in the 3rd or 2nd century BC. The presence of different types of marble and the odd join at the bust and pelvis, visible from the back, may indicate that two separate statues were combined in the modern period.
