A terracotta bust of a girl wearing a crescent-shaped pendant, known as a lunula, which was typically worn by females.
Lunula pendants were believed to possess apotropaic qualities, meaning they were intended to ward off evil. The moon was a symbol associated with women, but men also utilized items decorated with crescent designs too.
Found in Trier, 2nd/3rd c. AD.
Currently on display at the Major State Exhibition "Marcus Aurelius", Landesmuseum Trier.
