Description |
Votive offerings were given to the gods either in the hope of a cure or as thanks for one and were made in the shape of the afflicted body part. This pregnant female terracotta figure, which only shows the torso, suggests that a woman was hoping for the safe delivery of her child – notice how her hands are protecting her body. This votive was reputedly discovered in Suffolk, England, and is said to be of Roman origin. maker: Unknown maker Place made: Roman Republic and Empire Wellcome Images |
