Venus Rising Statue

Roman Goddess of Love. Goddess of the Oceans.

This famous image, Venus rising from the sea foam, comes from wall frescos at Pompeii, the Italian coastal city where she was particularly venerated. As Goddess of Sexual Love, her famous Renaissance depiction, birthed from sea foam, varies from her earlier association with Artemis as a Lady of the Hunt.

Her horned consort was Adonis, and her worship by the Romans included temple instruction in sacred sexual techniques for achieving heightened spiritual consciousness. Venus compares to Greek Aphrodite. 

This vintage resin statue stands 13" tall and is bathed in an antique wash of color.
