Triple Hecate

Fragment of a triangular stem of a candelabrum. On each of the three faces of this elegant fragment is a bas-relief representing a small female figure clothed in a voluminous drapery, and probably intended to represent the three horae or seasons. One is in the act of throwing over her shoulders a fold of her robe which likewise veils her head, the other hem being held in the left hand. She is accompanied by a dog in the act of running. The next figure is almost similar in attitude, the head however being thrown back somewhat like a Maenade. The third expressed with a calmer movement, rests her left arm on her hip, the right being suffered to hang naturally by her side. Both arms are enveloped in the folds of the drapery. The style is fine
