AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant Roman terracotta statuette depicting the goddess Venus on a pedestal.
She is depicted facing forward, nude, slightly tilted at the hips, one knee forward. She nonchalantly wears her coat over her shoulders. Her left arm is raised, and she holds the end of her veil in her hand.
Her hair is styled and held by a star-shaped crown.
The features are sculpted in relief, and the body shapes are elegant.
