Egyptianising grandiorite statue of Arsinoe II from Canopus, 3rd century BCE.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Statue of the Ptolemaic queen Arsinoe II as Aphrodite. The statue is missing its head, hands and feet. It is carved from grandiorite in an Egyptianising style, though the naturalistic rendering of the cloth and flesh are more reminiscent of Greek works. The statue was found by the IEASM in 2001 during underwater excavations in Canopus, Egypt, and dates from the 3rd century BCE. It is now housed in the Bibliotheca Alexandrina Antiquities Museum in Alexandria, Egypt. Photo taken at an exhibition at the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris, France, by Jean-Pierre Dalbéra.
