Displaying the attributes of the goddess Diana, this figure is completely modeled and painted in the round. Certain parts were certainly hand-modeled. The floral decorations of the robe are especially well-done. Lacking any identifying marks, this piece, like the others in this group, is probably a copy after Ralph Wood.
