The Venus Callipyge, also known as the Aphrodite Kallipygos or the Callipygian Venus, all literally meaning Venus (or Aphrodite) of the beautiful buttocks,is an Ancient Roman marble statue, thought to be a copy of an older Greek original. In an example of anasyrma, it depicts a partially draped woman, raising her light peplos to uncover her hips and buttocks, and looking back and down over her shoulder, perhaps to evaluate them.
