Venus/Aphrodite has been a central figure in Western art since antiquity. While most surviving classical depictions, like the Venus de Milo (130-100 BCE), are marble statues, ancient texts suggest wooden cult statues were equally revered in early Greek temples. This carving revives that lost tradition – a nod to the 5th-century BCE xoanon (primitive wooden cult images) described by Pausanias in his Description of Greece.
The slightly elongated neck and idealized facial proportions echo the Venus Pudica pose popularized during the Hellenistic period, while the wood’s natural grain adds a unique organic warmth absent in stone reproductions.
