Large, splendid appliqué of a crowned goddess. Her hair parted in the middle, three thick curly braids on either side falling into her nape. Her head is adorned by an ornate tiara with a central medallion. Face with straight, pointed nose, the lips slightly parted, the eyes, set between contoured eyelids, probably originally decorated with silver inlays. The neck is long and slender, with one small hole on either side and a separate hole at bottom centre, probably for mounting. This splendid appliqué was probably an adornment for an important piece of Roman furniture. Fine green age patina. Minuscule, barely noticeable hole on the left side at the transition between cheek and hair. Mounted on a matching acrylic glass stand. Dimensions 16.5 x 9.3 x 7 cm, with stand 22 cm.
