This is a statue of Aphrodite, and I love it in significant part because it shows her in motion rather than posing, and she looks just like an ordinary awkward human, albeit a very beautiful one. I like that she’s caught taking her shoe off. 

[ID: A statuette of a woman, bent slightly at the waist; one arm is stretched down to touch her sandal, while the other is raised and holding a ball; she looks like she might be dancing or preparing to play a game.]
