I’ve been looking through collections of modern primitive madonnas, and haven’t found it yet. But I will.

This is a statue of the Goddess Tyche

View of Tyche the goddess of fortune holding the child Plutos, the god of plenty. The huge statue dates to the second century A.D.
Note too the crown of acanthus leaves on Tyche’s head.
