Hera, the goddess of marriage, bronze-coated statue

Bronze-plated resin statue, handcrafted in every detail. Hera, the queen of the Olympian deities, was primarily worshipped as the goddess of marriage and childbirth. The peacock (a symbol of pride) and the cow were her sacred animals. Hera was both the wife and sister of Zeus, and she was constantly jealous of his various love affairs, punishing her rivals and their children—both goddesses and mortals—with relentless wrath. Hera also represents the ability of women to stand up for what they believe is right, even in the face of social disapproval and contempt. She is a symbol of the struggle for women's power and equality in a world that is still predominantly patriarchal.
