Goddesses
The Goddesses in this picture have no heads. This
is because in Ancient Greece, artists sculpted each piece in sections.
They would sculpt the heads and arms separate from the rest of the sculpture.
Then, they would attach the limbs with metal rods that allowed them to
shift with a little movement. After many years, the separate sections
fell off.
Above is a Modern Sculpture called Goddess. Note
the difference between the
Ancient Greek sculptures of the Goddesses and the Modern
sculpture called Goddess.
The Modern sculpture is very abstract and really has
no resemblance to an actual Goddess.
