Decoration | Plaster cast of the Ludovisi throne found in the grounds of Villa Ludovisi in 1894 and now in the Museo Nazionale Romano of Palazzo Altemps. The original and the cast are of a three-sided relief, the middle scene shows a cultic or mythic scene, perhaps the sea birth of the Greek goddess Aphrodite. |
