Pin's Venus de Milo - Louvre Collection

This gold metal and coloured resin pin is inspired by the greek sculpture Aphrodite, also know as the Venus de Milo.

The Venus de Milo occupies a prominent position in the history of Greek sculpture and the fascination for antiquities.

It is, in fact, an original Greek statue dated around 100 B.C., that was found by chance by a peasant in 1820, not far from the ruins of an antique theatre on the island of Melos (or Milo), in the south west of the Cyclades.
