Diana was the daughter of Jupiter, the Chief God and the twin sister of Apollo. Diana was always a virgin, an eternally young, untamed girl, nourishing all life. Thus she has many breasts because she has many children to feed. Her hands form the gesture of bestowing worldly and spiritual blessings. She is crowned with the goddess's sacred vessel, and the lunar disk makes a halo around her head. Even in the patriarchal era, her worship was so strong that her temple at Ephesus was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. This sculpture is from the Ephesus Museum, Turkey, 2nd Century A.D. Made from resin, yellow / gray finish, 11.5"H x 3.75"W x 3.75"D.
