The Replica Hellenistic Greek head of Aphrodite is a cast replica of the original 1st century BCE head in the British Museum (See Category:Satala Aphrodite). The original was discovered in 1872 at Satala (now Sadak) in north-eastern Turkey. The eyes were once inlaid with precious stones or paste. Apparently the top of the head was not designed to be empty, like a piece of modern art. It seems that the farmer found it when he hit the top of the head with his axe and damaged it.
