Hi Gene,
Can't seem to find any sleep right now so I kept worrying about your query. The figure represented on your patron (and zillions of similar objects), to my inexperienced eye, seems to be a kind of ancient oriental goddess. Just an idea anyway.  Almost snoring away ... Michael |

It is not clear.
Maybe an ancient goddess of vegetation, or Mermaid (the sister of Alexander the Great), or Demetra (Ceres), or Athena or all together. (Yannoula Kaplani Palaskes & Medoularia from Vassilis Korkolopoulos collection 2000) The most of them are bronze casts but you can find at least a silver one in the collection above. |
