A statuette of a nude Aphrodite in the sandalbinder pose. Her wavy hair is parted in the middle, pulled back, and gathered into a bun. She leans forward, slightly bending at the waist, standing with most of her weight on her right leg, while balancing herself against a tree stump with her raised left leg. Her left arm is raised and in her hand she holds a small round object. Both of her legs are missing below the knee; her right arm is missing from above the elbow; the bottom portion of the tree stump is missing.
