Statuette of Carpo, Horae of Autumn by Scan The World

Description

This is a statuette depicting Carpo, the one who brings food, the Horae goddess who was in charge of autumn, ripening, and harvesting, as well as guarding the way to Mount Olympus and letting back the clouds surrounding the mountain if one of the gods left. She was an attendant to Persephone, Aphrodite and Hera, and was also associated with Dionysus, Apollo and Pan. The body of the statuette apparently found in a vineyard near Vesuvius is almost fully intact. The head, dating from antiquity, doesn't belong to it and was attached and amended by Bartolomeo Cavaceppi. After 1830 the Horae was displayed on the upper floor of the Altes Museum's rotunda. | Download free and paid 3D printable STL files
