Summary

Description
English: This brightly painted relief, found in a private house, is one of three such reliefs from Dura-Europos that were made in the same mold. Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and sexuality, brushes her hair and gazes into a mirror. The composition is derived from Hellenistic art, but the goddess’s attributes—her bracelets, anklets, breast ornaments, and lack of modesty—evoke images of nude Near Eastern fertility goddesses. This affinity may help explain her popularity at Dura-Europos.
Date A.D. 200–256
