Description
This is a slab with a relief depicting the goddess Cybele or of Tyche, who, seated on a throne, holds a cornucopia. There are two animals on the sides, a winged horse and perhaps a bull.
Cybele was the ancient Phrygian Mother of the Gods, a primal nature goddess worshipped with orgiastic rites in the mountains of central and western Anatolia, while Tyche was the presiding guardian deity who governed the fortune and prosperity of a city and its destiny.
