Possibly by an unknown English sculptor. The figure has her right leg slightly bent and pushed to her side, whilst her left leg leans against the upturned Cornucopia from which a plethora of fruit flowers and leaves are issuing. From her right shoulder drapery falls freely to her front right-hand side and then abruptly across her front. In her right hand, she holds a bunch of flowers, and there are ears of corns in her hair. Previously thought to be Plenty or Pomona.
