The female bust candle is inspired by Venus, the Roman goddess of love, beauty, prosperity, fertility, and victory. Symbols of Venus were roses and myrtle, the scallop shell, doves, dolphins, pomegranates, pearls, mirrors, and girdles. Paintings of Venus were so popular in the classical era, that any unclothed female figure came to be called aVenus. Venus was also the mother of Cupid, the god of love.
