CIRCA MID 2ND CENTURY A.D.
Likely from a funerary relief, the draped figure depicted with her right arm raised from the bent elbow, her left arm bent and held across her waist, both arms wrapped tightly in her mantle, the folds and layers sharply defined, pinned at her left shoulder with a detailed lion head brooch with a hanging fabric panel imprinted with leaves, holding a spindle and a distaff together in her fisted left hand, symbols of her earthly wifely duties, adorned with three necklaces, including a choker of alternating spherical beads and hanging bead pendants, a plaited chain with a central lunate pendant and a longer necklace of biconical and spherical beads with a drop shaped pendant, a bracelet and rings on her left hand
