Aphrodite en Eros (1925) 1925

"Aphrodite en Eros" is a bronze medal created in 1925 by L.-C. Mascaux. The front depicts a seated Aphrodite offering a flower to Eros, a winged cupid, while the back features a winged cupid rowing a boat towards a standing figure. The inscription "KYPRI MNHTP" suggests the medal was likely commissioned for or related to Cyprus, honoring Aphrodite, who is often associated with the island nation. The medal's small size (11.9 cm in diameter) indicates it was likely intended for personal collection or a commemorative gift. The style and design are characteristic of Art Deco, a popular aesthetic movement of the 1920s and 1930s.
