Description
Disc lamp with the representation of the goddess Fortuna shown seated on a very elaborate chair, holding with her left arm an overflowing cornucopia of fruits, flowers and all kinds of goods and wealth, which is the symbol of abundance and prosperity with which this divinity is associated. With her right hand, she is holding another object that is difficult to identify, but it corresponds to a rudder of a ship, a distinctive symbol of the goddess Fortuna who directs and governs the fate of humanity with a capricious hand.
