History of Venus
Venus is the Roman goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation. She is the equivalent of the Greek goddess Aphrodite.

Circa 1800 Carved Oak Sculptures of the Apostles, James, John, Peter, and Paul

The set would make fantastic decorative art for a mantel, shelf, or sofa table.
