This is the rating and price for Roman Bronze Isis-Aphrodite Figure

Description : Rome, ca. 1st century BCE/CE. An incredible example of the Roman depiction of the Egyptian goddess Isis, in the traditional pose of the Roman goddess Aphrodite. Wearing a diaphanous chiton, falling off her left shoulder, while her left arm supports a thick mantle around her waist. The folds of her garments are deep and vivid, with even the openings and button on her right arm clearly depicted. Her hair is tied back in a bun behind her head, her curls flowing back like wind-swept waves. Set upon her head is the striking crown of Isis, composed of a vulture with spread wings, a modius of seven uraei holding bovine horns, which in turn support a solar disk. Her face is nearly perfect in symmetry, with distinct yet delicate eyes, nose, and mouth. Her sandled feet are hidden from the world, save the tips of her toes. 8-3/4H. Custom marble stand. cf.
