Final Considerations on the Item:
In ancient Rome, Vestal Virgins were priestesses devoted to the cult of Vesta, the guardian goddess of the Sacred Fire, associated with the sacred state of virginity for women. The sculpture is of high quality, with every detail meticulously crafted. Notice the beauty of the face, the hands with clearly defined and separate fingers, the beautiful robe, richly pleated, which falls softly over the woman’s long legs, crafted with the utmost care. Notice all the various indentations of the knees, depicted in meticulous detail, and finally, the woman’s beautiful hair and bare feet. The draping on the thighs is also exquisite, featuring shades of purple that contrast sharply with the blue background of the robe. The size is excellent, the piece is large, and it looks great on a piece of furniture.
