Aphrodite Figurine

This terracotta figurine represents Aphrodite, the goddess of love. During Egypt’s Graeco-Roman period, Aphrodite held a prominent place in both mythology and religious worship. Known for her association with beauty, femininity, and romance, Aphrodite was revered as the epitome of love and desire. Her influence extended to other various aspects of life including marriage, fertility, and protection. Her temples, where rituals and offerings took place, were dedicated spaces for both men and women to invoke her spirit.

The downloadable files are in an .STL format which is optimal for 3D printing. We suggest using a free software such as Meshmixer to edit the file to your needs. Some objects may need supports added or should be hollowed out for the most efficient printing. Any questions about 3D printing should be directed to kelsey.disko.project@umich.edu.
