This stunning resin replica represents the famous statue believed to depict the ancient Greek goddess Aphrodite and is now in the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.

Aphrodite, known as Venus in Roman times, is traditionally believed to have risen from the sea after Ouranos was castrated. She played a key role in many Greek myths and stories, most notoriously for her influence on the events leading up to the Ten Years of Trojan War.

The missing parts of the statue are shrouded in mystery and speculation, most notably the arms and what they might have held. She is often seen holding a shield, using it as a mirror to admire her beauty. This is a humorous interpretation of the relationship between Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and her lover Ares, the god of war. The use of tools of war as a means of beauty is an interesting acknowledgment of the disloyalty between the gods and their interactions with the ancient Greek audience.

This ornament is a truly stunning reproduction that will add an incredible accent to any art lover’s home. Beautify your space with this magnificent piece.
