The Goddess of Tarentum is a cult statue, standing 151 cm tall. It was found in 1911 near Taranto, inside a 4-meter-deep pit where it was buried in antiquity. She sits on a richly decorated throne; three distinct layers of clothing, sandals, and a high footstool. Her hands are missing: it’s thought she held an offering bowl in her right hand, and a piece of fruit or an ointment vessel in her left.

“A little tap on the window-pane, as though something had struck it, followed by a plentiful light falling sound, as of grains of sand being sprinkled from a window overhead, gradually spreading, intensifying, acquiring a regular rhythm, becoming fluid, sonorous, musical, immeasurable, universal: it was the rain.”
