153 Ex-voto Female figure

Votive pendant in the form of a female figure cut out of silver leaf. It represents a full-bodied woman, dressed in a wide skirt and sleeveless blouse, in a dynamic attitude. The flat, silhouetted style is characteristic of popular votive offerings, and suggests a symbolic representation of a person (possibly the offerer or the person for whom the miracle was requested). The ring at the top indicates that it was intended to be hung, probably on a shrine or votive altar.
