100.KC.11 Aphrodite Townley

This is a 3D model of an ancient marble statue in the British Museum, where it is cataloged as the Townley Venus. Excavated in Ostia, Venus / Aphrodite wears a cloth wrapped around her waist and draped over her right arm. Her left arm is raised over her head, almost in a gesture of surprise. Her arms, fingers, and nose show where they have been repaired. **Bibliography**: [British Museum](https://research.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?assetId=145183001&objectId=460007&partId=1) #Ancient World 3D This model posting is part of [Ancient World 3D](https://exhibits.ulib.iupui.edu/aw3d/items/show/14), a project that provides curated 3D open access content forClassical Studies.
