This Venus sculpture belongs to the category of pudica Aphrodites, descendants of the Aphrodite of Cnidus or Venus of Cnidus. In these statues, the goddess is depicted semi-nude with a cloak draped from her hips, typically appearing with her right hand over her chest and her left hand holding a fold of the cloak over her pubic area.

In classical mythology, Venus, identified in Rome with the Greek goddess Aphrodite, is the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. The myth tells of Venus’s birth from the waters, emerging from the foam created by the fall of the sky god Uranus’s genitals into the sea, after being severed by his son Cronos-Saturn. The aquatic origin of the goddess highlights Venus’s connection with water as a symbol of fertility, regeneration, and life.

Venus was represented with symbolic attributes such as the rose and the mirror, and animals like the dove or the swan, representing love in all its forms, encompassing everything from universal harmony to human desire and passion, beauty, and seduction.
