[edit] Arms?

i would just like to know why it is that the Venus De Milo sculpture has no arms? Was she created with them but found without? Was she made without them for some reason? I would appreciate a response thanks! I'll be checking the site!

I'm fairly certain she was found that way. I know she was not sculpted without arms, but whether the arms broke off after her discovery or before I don't know. If they broke off afterwards, I'd think they would have been kept. —Frecklefoot 19:56, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)

The first page listed in the External links section says that she was created with arms, but that they were already missing when she was found. So there you go. —Paul A 01:27, 3 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

I uploaded a picture at commons, see commons:Image:venus_de_milo_bs.jpg. It's an actual picture taken in the museum. I don't have an eye for aesthetics, so I'll let someone else replace it if they feel like it. CryptoDerk 05:11, Jan 22, 2005 (UTC)

Nevermind. I found 2 better pics (which I've inserted) on commons. CryptoDerk 21:57, Jan 24, 2005 (UTC)
