Torso of female statue holding the attributes of Demeter

The sculpture depicts a female torso, headless, yet distinctive in its attributes: wheat held firmly in the right hand and a torch grasped by the left. This image could plausibly represent Demeter, the ancient Greek deity revered for her dominion over grain, agriculture, harvest, growth, and nourishment. Her authority extended to grains and the earth's fertility. The torso was discovered with its origin unknown.
