2007.10.2.160 Marriage scene. The young wife, wearing a veil over her head, gives her hand to a young man standing in front of her. An older woman, her mother, is accompanying her.
2021.10.1 Cast of the bust of a goddess, perhaps Aphrodite, from the East pediment of the Parthenon (438–432 BC). Most scholars agree that this figure represents Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, leaning on her mother, Dione. Although the cast is only a small fraction of the original statue group, it allows us to see how Aphrodite was depicted in the Classical age.
