Statuette dedicated to Hecate (Hekataion). It represents the goddess in her triple form, alongside Selene/Luna and Artemis/Diane.
The three figures are leaning against a column that rests on a cubic base. The base is decorated with a number of symbols associated with Sabazios, a god found in Thrace (south-east of the Balkans) and Phrygia (Anatolia).
This statuette, probably from a Thracian workshop, is associated with two other bonze statuettes from the same laraire (domestic altar).
