Hera 9 cm

This bonded bronze figure depicts Hera, the Greek goddess of marriage, family, and queenship. She is elegantly draped in a flowing gown, wearing a crown, and holding a majestic peacock—her sacred symbol. As Zeus' wife and queen of Olympus, Hera was both revered and feared. She was known for her jealousy, particularly toward Zeus’ many lovers and illegitimate children. She tormented Heracles throughout his life and played a role in the Trojan War by favoring the Greeks. Despite her vengeful nature, she was also a protector of marriage and women. Her myths embody both divine authority and passionate rivalry.
