Statue of 𝐂𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐒 / ΔΗΜΗΤΕΡ (Dēmḗtēr) ⌛ 2nd century CE 📍 from Athens (Greece), currently in the British Museum https://www.facebook.com/TIMOTHEVS/

! NEW VIDEO ! How to tell 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗰 - 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 - 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 (- 𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻) sculpture apart... I probably spent more time making this one than I should have, but I hope you like it (^_^;) I even added a little quiz at the end!

Made a short video of me offering a 𝐋𝐕𝐂𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐀 (oil lamp) to 𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐀 for the 𝐍𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐀! It's a replica of a 2nd～3rd century original with an image of 𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐀 the Huntress on the discus. Bought it a few years ago in a museum shop in Arlon (Belgium), but never got around to dedicating it to Her until now...
