This porcelain figurine of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and warfare, was created by the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory in the mid-18th century. Standing at 4 1/2 inches tall, the figure is depicted in a vibrant blue and gold dress, holding a spear and shield. The figure's elaborate costume, with its floral motifs and gilded details, reflects the Rococo style that was popular at the time. The delicate porcelain, hand-painted with meticulous detail, exemplifies the artistry of the Nymphenburg Manufactory, which is renowned for its exquisite porcelain figures. This piece is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
