Artemis, daughter of Zeus, is the goddess of the hunt, fertility, and childbirth. Only a few days old, she helped her mother give birth to her twin brother, Apollo. She asked her father to preserve her purity and to remain a virgin, with her name meaning “purity.” Usually, she is depicted with her quiver and arrows because she is also a patroness of the hunt. However, in this statue, she is seen with a myriad of bull testicles hanging about her, a depiction that hints at an Orientalizing and Archaic style. This is, in fact, a replica of the worship statue of the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, in Asia Minor, which was found in Hadrian’s Villa.
