Marble statuette of Aphrodite Anadyomene (rising)

Marble statuette of Aphrodite Anadyomene (rising). Culture: Roman. Dimensions: H. 12 3/16 in. (31 cm). Date: 1st century A.D.. In this graceful pose, Aphrodite was represented with both arms raised, wringing water from her hair, as though she were just emerging from the sea, where she was born. Sometimes thought to derive from a famous painting, statues with this graceful motif were extremely popular. Here, a narrow band is carved in relief on either shoulder, perhaps to indicate a fillet with which the goddess binds up her locks.
