Color:

Demeter is shown seated on a throne. The lower arms are lost, together with the hands, at least one of which probably held a libation bowl or torch. The head was carved separately from the body. The goddess is portrayed as a paradigm of Greek womanhood, serene, mature, motherly and modestly veiled. A statue of her daughter Persephone (now lost) was perhaps shown standing beside her. The sculpture was found in the sanctuary of Demeter at Knidos.   This object is part of "Scan The World".
