Capped and mantled in priestly attire, his gestures simple and his stance proud, this little votive speaks silent testimony about the age-old dreams of men. What wishes were the gods supposed to grant in return for the eternal prayers of this offering? Happiness? Long life? Wealth and prosperity? Are the dreams of men today any different after all this time?
