Statue of a goddess and its plinth both fragmentarily preserved

. It is an original work of the Classical period known from Roman copies. The standing goddess is draped in a chiton and himation. Her identity remains unclear and it has been suggested that she may be Persephone.

The particular statuary type is known as the Corinth-Mocenigo goddess because its two best preserved copies come from Corinth and the Palazzo Mocenigo in Venice.
