Etruscan divinity of the 2nd century BC. Bronze. Etruscan divinity entirely made of bronze. Dressed in a long tunic, which covers almost her entire body, and wearing a crown, the divinity holds in her right hand a circular object, inside of which, most likely, an offering is emulated. Most probably, we are in front of an ex-voto, that is to say, an offering that ancient cultures made to their gods. These offerings were deposited in sanctuaries or places of worship and could consist of figurines representing people or animals, weapons, foodstuffs, etc.
