Statuette of Venus, A.D. 100-300. Additional Info: Small statuette of a frontal, nude Venus, missing her arms and lower legs. Attachment holes indicate that the figure originally served as an articulated doll. The hollow eyes were probably once filled with colored glass, and the drilled earlobes held earrings. The hair is pulled back from the head in a center-parting, but much of the back of the head is missing. There are prominent "Venus rings" on the neck.
