Fortuna of Love shows the goddess Fortuna, carved in chrysoprase, flint and agate with bronze silvering. Her head is crowned with flowers, a ribbon is tied at her waist, and the hair and the dress fall in natural folds; golden coins flow from the fortune she carries under her arm. The whole figure stands 38 cm high, less than 15 inches, so the crown, the slender fingers and the feet are all worked at a very small scale.
Materials: chrysoprase, flint, agate, bronze silvering
Dimensions: 38 × 12 × 12 cm (height × width × depth)
