Description

The cast depicts a goddess Venus, without both arms, which had to be raised, in the act of encircling her head with a bandage. Standing on the right leg, flex the left by slightly tilting the torso and head. The goddess is completely naked, wearing only sandals with laces; the hair, held by a bandage, is gathered at the nape, with curls on the forehead. The support consists of a vase, on which the right leg rests, decorated with Egyptianizing elements such as the bundles of papyrus and the coils of the snake. The vase is placed on a box full of flowers and a cloth is placed on top, elements that indicate how the goddess prepares for her bath. The original work, from which the cast derives, is now preserved in the Capitoline Museums, it was found in Rome on the Esquiline. The statue is dated to the first half of the 1st century. B.C
