aphrodite
price: $ 95 catalog # GG5 - Aph |
|
Aphrodite, Goddess of Love and Beauty, is the daughter of Zeus and Dione in The Iliad, though most later poems have her emerging from the foam of the sea. She is usually married to Hephaestus, the lame and unattractive God of the Forge.
For this Aphrodite, full lips and half-lidded eyes are used to create an exaggerated image of sensuality to reflect her historic sexual attractiveness to both mortals and immortals. Her face is framed by the same flowers that are said to bloom at her feet as she walks. Flower headdress may vary depending on availability of silk flowers. Please specify if you desire a specific "look" to the headdress.
