Description

Female figure (Aphrodite ?), standing, hands raised over head, accompanied by Pan playing pipes. Accompanied by the god Pan and a wine amphora, Isis is identified by her knotted garment. This type of image of the goddess with her dress falling around her thighs copies Classical statues of Venus and Aphrodite. The two halves of this figure are from seperate terracottas suggesting that several were found together and mismatched by the excavator.
