     Sculpture of Roman figure 'Goddess Ceres', the sculpture was discovered in February 1911 at the Teatro de Mérida. She was kindly disposed  to humans, teaching them to sow and harvest. The original dates from the middle of the second century and is currently at the National Museum of Roman Art in Mérida. This is a seated figure of Ceres wearing a headband and her head is covered with a veil which falls onto her left arm, hiding the right shoulder, falling down her back and gathering at her legs. She wears a sleeved tunic which is tied at the front, just under the breasts. The folds of the robe show the feet.  One foot is slightly in front of the other.
    She belonged to the class of the  superior gods and was part of the Heavenly Court. She was permitted to discuss matters there. Ceres is the goddess of agriculture. She toured many countries looking for her daughter Proserpina who was taken by Pluto. The material used in the sculpture is bronze and the technique is sculptural modeling and lost-wax casting.
