The sculpture Aphrodite of Milos, known as Venus de Milo, is a Greek statue thought to have been sculpted by Alexandros of Antioch (circa 130-100 BC). The sculpture was discovered in 1820, having lost both its arms prior to being hidden away. The right arm had either been carved separately or broken and reattached, as a metal attachment bar had been set in a hole that was later filled in.
