A GREEK AGATE SCARABOID WITH APHRODITE
CIRCA 4TH CENTURY B.C.
With Aphrodite seated on a rocky outcrop, leaning back with weight on her left arm, naked save for drapery around her legs, contemplating a sword and scabbard which she holds in her right hand, the tip resting on her knee, her left leg outstretched in front
3.2 x 2.5 cm.

专家说明

The scene of Aphrodite holding a sword could be a reference to the disarming of Mars by love. The god of war was armed at all times; the only time he was found unarmed was when he was in love, Aphrodite being his most famous lover.
