MINERVA BRONZE STATUETTE
Roman period, c. 1st-3rd century AD.
Bronze statuette from the Roman era depicting a female figure with a high-crested helmet (Minerva?).
Dimensions: 68.5 x 27.0 mm. 43.01 g. Intact, with its untouched green patina. Missing item in the right hand, otherwise complete. The attribution to Minerva depends on the presence of the helmet, however it is a very unusual representation for this divinity. The pose is typical of the offerers, as the left hand holds a long dress, while the right hand is extended, as if holding an object that is currently missing. The armour, often present in depictions of Minerva, is also missing.
