Votive Relief of Artemis with a Stag

This shallow relief depicts Artemis capturing a stag, not with her usual bow and arrow but with a spear. It is probably a dedication of some kind to the hunting goddess dating from the Roman period. The style however is influenced by fifth century BCE Greek sculpture
