content: Similar to 'Standing Aphrodite with a Leveret.' Found at Cameiros, in British Museum, B. 105. Amongst archaic art, standing statuettes tend to be associated with Aphrodite, whose name represented the Earth-mother's reproductive power. The leveret she carries is a symbol of that power. (Hutton, Caroline Amy. Greek Terracotta Statuettes. The Macmillan Company, 1899, pg. 28, pl. II, B. 105).
