Venus with Apple

Small alabaster statuette of Venus. Broken at collarbone, missing neck and head. The lower part of her body draped, beginning at upper thighs. In the back, it begins below her buttocks. Her right arm is raised at her breast, holding an apple or pomegranate. Her left hand holds the drapery and an object now lost. The workmanship is rough, and the statue has abrasions and discoloration on the back and at the base. There is a deep gouge, probably intentional, between her two bare feet.
