Marble bust of Ceres, Roman goddess of earth and fertility  Translated
Description:
White marble sculpture from the 17th century. Depicted as a beautiful young woman with long hair gathered at the nape of her neck and flowing over her shoulder. The hairstyle is adorned with flowers and ears of corn. 45 cm (height with base) x 25 x 12.5 (base diameter) Ceres, maternal deity of the earth, fertility and prosperity, but also goddess of birth (as all flowers, fruits, and living beings were considered her gifts), is considered a symbol of summer, the quintessential season of harvests.
