I’m thinking that the sculptors at the time didn’t depict her in that style, or thought she should look a certain way and thought “She would never be depicted in that style.” Why’s this?

I’m curious why the noses were missing. My mom told me it was because the people that had first stolen the sculptures believed the person’s soul was in the sculpture, so they broke the noses off to release the spirit. However, much of what my mom believes is myth. So if you know the answer, please tell me and include a link if you researched it.
