Beautiful and original earthenware figurine named Venus Kallipygos – or the buttocks of Venus, designed by the Danish sculptor Kai Nielsen (1882-1924). He designed this figurine in 1909. This jade-green version is in excellent condition and is signed in the earthenware. There are several versions of this figurine.

The Venus of Callipyge, also known as the Aphrodite Kallipygos or the Callipygian Venus, which literally means "Venus of the beautiful buttocks," is an ancient Roman marble statue, presumably a copy of an older Greek original.
