Lemnian Athena

cults3d

This is Roman copy of the lost bronze original, and probably found in Rome. Headless when found, it has been augmented in this cast by the addition of the Bologna Head. Athena probably stood with a spear in her left hand and a winged victory or libation bowl in her right. It is thought that in the original by Pheidias she did not wear a helmet, unlike many sculptures of Athena.
