Photograph of a statue of Venus or Aphrodite in a "Venus Pudica" or "Modest Venus" pose with an attached base. Her right arm covers her breasts and her left hand covers her pubic area. The statue appears to be weathered with scratches and is missing its nose, parts of its right arm, and fingers from its left hand. It is placed on what appears to be a crude pedestal at a slight angle from the front view.
