Isis-Fortuna Holding a Cornucopia
(Roman Empire )
The cornucopia, held in her proper left hand, and the plumed disc on her head indicate that this figure is Isis-Fortuna. The Egyptian goddess Isis was identified with Fortuna after the Roman conquest of Egypt, and Roman statuettes of this type are common.
