About the Item

A captivating Roman marble head of a Goddess, possibly Venus, dating from the 1st–3rd century AD, exquisitely carved and presented on a bespoke marble pedestal styled as a classical column top. The delicate features and serene expression epitomize the timeless beauty celebrated in Roman interpretations of the goddess of love. Minor historic wear, including a small chip to the nose, adds character and authenticity without diminishing its refined presence. Measuring 11.5 × 10.5 cm, this intimate sculpture is perfectly scaled for display in a cabinet of curiosities, on a side table, or as the center piece of a curated collection. Its elegant proportions and classical charm make it a standout acquisition for collectors of antiquities or connoisseurs of fine decorative art. Official export documentation, issued by the Government Historical Monuments Office, is included.

Ancient Greek Hellenistic Marble Head of a Goddess, probably Aphrodite

Ancient Greek Hellenistic Marble Head of a Goddess, probably Aphrodite

Located in London, GB

The head carved in luminous marble, likely depicts Aphrodite, the ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty. Shown with her smooth oval face with deeply set eyes, and slightly open lips, her hair centrally-parted with a diadem, and a chignon at her neck. The head would originally have been from a full length figure of the goddess, depicted either entirely nude, or semi-nude with folds of drapery around her hips. Such figures are often known as 'Anadyomene' which means 'rising from the sea'. The tilt of the head and the hair arrangement is seen in other Hellenistic Greek marble heads...
