Roman, c.200 CE, reworking of a type from the early 3rd century BCE, made of marble, found in the debris of the stage building of the Ephesus theatre
The attributes of this statue of a woman dressed in a chiton (undergarment) and a cloak identify her as Nemesis, the goddess of divine retribution: in her right hand she holds a staff, in her left hand - a cornucopia, she also wears the divine crown (polos). Beside her, a gryphon has placed its left front paw on a wheel to symbolise the restless movement. The globe identifies the deity as the ruler of the world, the rudder placed on top of it as the one who guides the universe.
