Description: This illuminated image depicts a statue of the goddess Juno in the nude while holding a cloth to cover her legs. Statues of Juno were put up in Samos, as well as Rome to honour the goddess. Juno grew up in the city of Samos before she was wed to her brother, Jupiter. A statue of Juno was erected in a temple dedicated to Juno to honour her significance to the city of Samos, which is presumably the statue depicted in the image.
