Aphrodite Holding an Apple
Depicted naked and standing on a circular base with egg and dart moulding below the rim, set on a square platform with four short legs. Her right leg carries her weight with the left bent at the knee. She holds out her right hand which originally would have held a patera, in her left hand she holds a fruit possibly an apple. Her slender head, turned to the right gazes down slightly, framed by centrally parted hair caught up in a chignon at the nape and surmounted by a silver diadem.
