Aphrodite, Easton Lodge, Little Easton, Essex, UK - Outside Wooden Display Carvings on Waymarking.com

This sculpture represents Aphrodite reclining on top of a Greek Corinthian column. It is carved from one piece of a prematurely deceased 150 year old beech tree. The carving was achieved using only a mallet and chisels.

The carving on the capital represents two peacocks, a goose, a crow, an apple, two pears, and a rose. On top of the capital Aphrodite is shown with a dove resting on a scallop shell with a dolphin representing the sea.

The Essex artist Alistair Smith was the creator of this piece. Other works by the artist, are on display and in use at the Gardens.
