Sculpture, carved relief
Stone sculpture of four mother goddesses. The four seated figures, from left to right, hold bread and fruit, a breastfeeding baby, a dog and a basket of fruit. These deities were worshipped in northern Italy and Germany in the Roman period and introduced to Britain by people from these areas. The sculpture was re-used in a riverside wall built to protect Roman London in the 270s-280s CE.
