Terracotta figurine of a woman riding on a pig, Hellenistic, Egypt, 1st BCE. It shows a large pig, bearing on its back a fat woman riding side-saddle, naked apart from the tall headdress and the long veil that covers it. This object is a calathus, a measuring vessel for corn and the stele or shrine in her left arm shows that she may be linked to Demeter, goddess of corn and fertility. GR, 1926.9-30.48
