This ancient bronze figure, dating back to the 1st millennium B.C. or earlier, depicts a female deity, possibly associated with fertility or protection. The figure is stylized, with exaggerated features such as prominent breasts and a defined torso, which may have been intended to emphasize the deity’s role in nurturing or safeguarding. The patina, developed over centuries, adds a rich, greenish hue to the bronze, highlighting its age and historical significance.
