I am no mother.

Roman marble statuette (2nd cent. CE) of the Phrygian goddess Cybele, aka the Magna Mater ("Great Mother"). The goddess was imported to Rome from Pergamum during the Second Punic War, in the form of a black meteoric stone (βαίτυλος), at the behest of the Sibylline Books; she was given a festival in April (the Megalensia), but due to the "exoticness" of her cult, Romans were barred from taking part in the ecstatic procession of her eunuch priests. Here, the goddess is shown seated and attended by the lions that were said to draw her chariot. Now in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Photo credit: LACMA.

Another Arthuriana idea I had for a while. Guinevere design is much inspired by William de Leftwich Dodge illustration
