Description

This sculpture, believed to represent Ceres, the Goddess of Corn, dates from around 1680 and was created by Caius Gabriel Cibber. It is located in the sculpture garden of Belvoir Castle and is one of seven statues in the collection. The sculpture is made of stone and stands on a square pedestal featuring recessed panels that are intricately carved with high relief heraldic and other emblems, including the Earl's coronet, as the Earls of Rutland became Dukes in 1703. The pedestal is adorned with a dentil course and an egg and dart frieze beneath the cornice. The figure depicted is masculine in appearance and is shown in a striding forward pose, with a large sheaf of corn at its feet.
