Head of Aphrodite

myminifactory

This head, created for attachment to a statue, is an authentic Roman replica of the form of Aphrodite known as the Venus Genetrix, crafted by the skilled Greek sculptor Kallimchos between 420 and 400 BC. The moderate application of the drill and the delicate carving of the pupils and irises indicate that the sculpture was produced during the Hadrianic period, specifically within the first half of the 2nd century AD.
