This larger-than-life statue of Aphrodite was found in the Bouleuterion. It dates to the second century AD.
The head of Aphrodite was veiled and she wears a heavy casing (ependytes) on which are, from top to bottom, the Three Graces, the Moon and the Sun, Aphrodite on a sea-goat, and Eros figures sacrificing at an incense altar. (from the museum description)
