Fortune, Roman deity personifying chance events ,the random things, good or bad, that happen to us along life's journey. She is shown holding a cornucopia (horn of plenty) from which she gives gifts and blessings to mankind, a wheel of fortune, and a ship's rudder. Her Greek equivalent was 'Tyche'.
Lightweight, suitable for hanging, for perching on a little stand, or just to look pretty on a table surface.
miniature terracotta Fortuna personification of chance events
Diameter: 9cm
Depth to wall if hung: 1cmMade in Italy for It's All Greek by 'Ithaca: arte in terracotta', way back in 2010. (The name is, naturally, what attracted me to this little company in the first place!)
This is the limited residual stock, which I am putting up online now (June 2026) - reluctantly, because they are so lovely and very cute! When they're gone, they're gone.
On the back, you will find embedded: 'Ithaca', and if there is room, 'arte in terracotta' and 'fatto a mano a Venezia'.
The pieces are fired to 1000 degrees, are lightweight, and can be placed outside.
