Description
This sculpture is a grave relief, coming from Smyrna/Izmir in Turkey. It most likely portrays the goddess of fertility, Demeter, as the architectural frame also contains a torch, a cornucopia and a poppy capsule. The grave itself however was not Demeter's, she is instead depicted as an icon, to symbolise a respected female citizen.
