The statue depicts a beheaded figure believed to represent Hera, Greek goddess of women, marriage, and childbirth. As wife to her brother Zeus, she reigns supreme among the Greek gods, notorious for her intense jealousy. Typically depicted in cult statues as dignified and awe-inspiring, this piece showcases her regal stature from the front. Her arms and head were crafted separately, likely holding a phantom and a libation vessel in each hand.
