Aphrodite Statue Kallipygos Raising Peplos
Aphrodite Kallipygos Raising Peplos is a type of nude female statue from the Hellenistic era which translates as "Aphrodite of the Beautiful Buttocks" (also known as Callipygian Venus or Venus Kallipygos). It depicts a woman raising up her backside to reveal her hips and buttocks. As she makes this gesture, she turns and looks over her shoulder to take a look. The Goddess of Love invites the viewer in to gaze at her and thus invokes her powers of attraction and desire. As part of the Hellenistic era, it is a further example of how inventive the sculptors were at using gesture to add naturalism to their subjects.

Size: 15.5"H x 5"L x 4"W
