| Description |
Votive offerings were given to the gods either in the hope of a cure or as thanks for one and were made in the shape of the afflicted body part. This votive offering shows a child lying in a cradle and is made from terracotta. Infant mortality was quite high and this offering may have been made for a sick child. On a more positive note, it may equally have been given as thanks for the safe delivery of a child. maker: Unknown maker Place made: Roman Republic and Empire Wellcome Images |
