Statue Friday

Today is #Statuefriday for the #sevendaysoutside challenge by the lovely @erikah

Discovered on the Greek island of Melos in 1820, the Venus de Milo was purchased and presented to Louis XVIII, who donated it to the Louvre, where I took this photo of her on a trip to Paris several years ago.

Sculpted in approximately 100 BC, the goddess is mysterious and well known for her missing arms.. The missing pieces make identification of the statue difficult. If it was known what she had been holding in her hands it would have given more clues as to which goddess she represents. She was most likely colorfully painted and the anchor holes still remain for the jewelry she was once wearing. It was a privilege to see her!
