The Venus Callipyge also known as the Aphrodite Kallipygos (Greek: Ἀφροδίτη Καλλίπυγος) or the Callipygian Venus all literally meaning Venus (or Aphrodite) of the beautiful buttocks is an Ancient Roman marble statue thought to be a copy of an older Greek original. In an example of anasyrma it depicts a partially draped woman raising her light peplos to uncover her hips and buttocks and looking back and down over her shoulder perhaps to evaluate them.
