专家说明


This delicate terracotta figure depicts Aphrodite in the nude and although both arms are now missing, the tilt of the head might suggest that it was once showing the goddess in the act of concealing her breast and pubic area, typical of the 'Pudica' type, or in the act of pointing to her womb, emhpasising her fertility, according to B.S. Ridgway, Hellenistic Sculpture I, 1990.
