Description |
English: A depiction of the nude female statue discovered in 1714 in the Southbroom Hoard near Devizes, Wiltshire, from the figures decorating the margins of Moll's map of "Dorset Shire" (Dorset), the fifth in his Set of Fifty New and Correct Maps of England and Wales... The figure was placed on the map of a different county for want of room. Moll copied the figure's appearance and identification from Musgrave's 1719 account of the hoard. This statue is now lost, while others from the hoard are held by the British Museum. Musgrave identified it as Figure 1 (M1) while Durham categorized it as #375. Scholars continue to classify it as Venus, Aphrodite, or a Gallo-Roman equivalent via Interpretatio Graeca or Romana, with similiar figures making the 2nd most common surviving statuary of goddesses from the era. The figure of a partially or fully nude Venus attempting to cover herself before a viewer is known as a Venus Pudica. The missing arm would probably have been attempting to cover her genitals.
