The original 2.02 metres high and therefore slightly larger than life statue was created towards the end of the 2nd century BC and was discovered on 8 April 1820 on the Cyclades island of Milos in the surroundings of the ruins of a Greek theatre. The statue is now Louvre in Paris. The sculpture is made of marble from the quarries of the Cycladic island of Paros and symbolises the ideal of female beauty. Therefore, it was named after the Roman goddess Venus. Since Venus is the Roman equivalent of the Greek Aphrodite, the statue is also called Aphrodite of Melos (Milos). For many years, the Potsdam artist Alex Agwanjan has lovingly handmade the most diverse sculptures, reliefs and cans made from the materials Zellan or plaster. It attaches special importance to the clean presentation of the finest details, which is possible especially thanks to the material Zellan. Zellan is a synthetic, inorganic impression compound which, when cured, has porcelain-like structure. The material is easy to work with like plaster, paintable or dyeable before use and requires no drying or burning to cure. Zellan is about twice as hard as plaster and also significantly heavier. The use of Zellan allows a very high image accuracy and the finest detail representations. The material has a bright, porcelain-like sound after hardening when tapping. Unlike the slightly grey plaster, Zellan is pure white. All Zellan objects are lovingly patinated and polished by hand by the artist.; Product description The Venus of Milo (also Aphrodite of Melos), a half-naked statue of the goddess Aphrodite, is one of the most famous examples of Hellenistic art.
