Rare Roman Marble Head of a Triple Hekate

Item Details

Description

Rome, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A finely carved marble head of a triple Hekate/Hecate, the goddess of the moon with three forms: Selene the Moon in heaven, Artemis the Huntress on earth, and Persephone the Destroyer in the underworld - who reigned over three kingdoms (earth, sea, and sky) and possessed the power to both create and prevent storms, a trait that led to her patronage by shepherds. Beyond this, Hecate in her triplicate manifestation, is also associated with crossroads, entryways, magic, witchcraft, knowledge of herbs and poisonous plants, and sorcery. A very rare example on a block mount. Size: 2.125" at widest x 2.5" H (5.4 cm x 6.4 cm); 3.375" H (8.6 cm) with mount
