Please note: slight scratches and wear of time, see photos. * The Venus de Milo is a marble statue, an original work from the Hellenistic period, created around 150-130 BC, representing the Greek goddess Aphrodite (designated by her Latin equivalent Venus) and found on the Greek island of Milos in April 1820 in a fragmentary state, in particular without arms. Its exhibition at the Louvre Museum in 1821 caused a sensation: it was the first statue from Greece in the collections and the first to be shown incomplete.
