Diana, also known as Artemis in Greek mythology, is depicted here with grace and power. Her serene expression exudes divinity while her flowing hair adds an ethereal touch to her presence. The artist's skillful rendering brings out every delicate feature of this timeless sculpture. The marble block from which Diana emerges symbolizes both her earthly connection and heavenly status. As a polytheistic figure worshipped by pagans, she represents nature, fertility, and protection.
