Aphrodite
This unusual representation of the goddess Aphrodite stands with her feet together and arms extended. In one hand she holds a round object, perhaps an apple or an egg, and in the other she holds the remains of a staff or handle. Her hair is arranged in braded sections. The proportions and style of modeling are uncommon for a Roman figure.
