Cybele and Artemis, a relief from Sardis [d/b]

Relief from Sardis with figures of Artemis with a deer [left], and Cybele holding a lion [in the center]. Both are draped in long chiton and cloak, wearing poloi. The oval object is the Cybele’s tympanum.

“Recovered in the Late Roman Synagogue at Sardis, where it had been reused as building material. … it presumably was made to be a votive offering for the sanctuary of Cybele at Sardis.”
