Muse with Mask Sculpture

photo

An image of a larger-than-life marble Muse holding a theatrical mask. Muses were revered as inspirational goddesses of poetry, lyric songs, and myths—making this a fitting piece for installation in the theater of Aphrodisias.

There were many statues in ancient theaters, both of persons and of deities.
