This is a 3D model of an ancient marble statue in the British Museum, where it is cataloged as the Townley Venus. Excavated in Ostia, Venus / Aphrodite wears a cloth wrapped around her waist and draped over her right arm. Her left arm is raised over her head, almost in a gesture of surprise. Her arms, fingers, and nose show where they have been repaired.
