This statuette portrays a syncretic female divinity. She once held a cornucopia (an attribute of Tyche-Fortuna) in her right hand. She holds poppies and wheat stalks (an attribute of Persephone) in her lowered left hand. Additional wheat stalks stand in a container beside the goddess's right foot. Her headdress is a diadem (associated with Hera), the crescent (associated with the moon goddess Selene), and the mural crown (relating to Cybele). She is dressed in a himation, which is draped to function also as a veil.
