This statue of Venus Ansotica with little Priapus (son born from her relationship with Dionysus) has its origin in the Hellenistic art. The statue reflects the character of a female deity of the general procreator and mother - the Liburnian Ansotica. It was imported from the Carraran quarries where it was probably only roughly sketched and finished in Nin or Zadar.
