Votive offering from the Sanctuary of the Mother of the Gods and Aphrodite, late 4th – early 1st century BCE.
This finely carved marble statuette represents Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, wilderness, and protector of young women. It was dedicated as a votive offering in the joint sanctuary of the Mother of the Gods and Aphrodite in ancient Pella, reflecting the intertwined worship of powerful female deities.
The presence of Artemis in this sanctuary highlights her role within a broader divine feminine network, where protection, fertility, and transition were honored together through ritual offerings.
