Minerva

Venus did not stay the only ancient sculpture I was about to (re)build in second life. Shortly after the lady’s arrival at her virtual home, Intlibber Brautigan commissioned me to sculpt 3 goddesses, related to trade in ancient times. I chose Minerva, the Roman equivalent of the Greek goddess Pallas Athena and the Etruscan Menvra, since she was considered to be the virgin goddess of -among others- commerce and crafts.Being still in the avant-scupltie era, I used the same technique to “paint” her face…

 

… and turned and twisted prims and rotated textures to make the rest of her body.
