Marble statue of Venus - sculpted probably in Rome between AD 100-150 and found when digging in Lazio, Italy. British excavators found this beautiful piece when digging at the site of a Roman villa in 1794.
The beautiful face of the statue has been copied several times after it's discovery and although some areas of the statue had to be restored the head was very well preserved.
This statue now resides at the Royal Museum in London. I have seen it and it's a thing of sublime beauty.
