This image features a close-up of a small terracotta statue of the goddess Venus, depicted seated in a shell, placed on a red surface with a matching red background. The statue, dating back to the 2nd century, was discovered on the Mediterranean coast in Sousse, Tunisia, part of the ancient region of North Africa. The Venus statue is worn and weathered due to the passage of time, with many of its details faded or eroded, making the features appear blurry and softened. Despite its age and the loss of sharpness, the goddess is still recognizable in her seated pose within the shell, a symbol of her birth from the sea, as depicted in classical art. The statue’s terracotta composition adds to its historical authenticity, though the natural wear has removed much of the finer details that would have once defined her expression and features.
