2 male figures, one seated (left figure) and one standing (right figure). Seated figure carrying a staff, possibly denoting older age or social class. Standing figure is wearing a cape, possibly suggesting that he, or both figures, are travellers. He also appears to be stirring a pot at the feet of both figures. On the far right of the scene there is a pole with a serpent wrapped around it.

Cast of the bust of a goddess, perhaps Aphrodite, from the East pediment of the Parthenon (438432 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.
