Victorian Marble Statue of Demeter - Geelong Botanic Gardens

This lovely Victorian marble statue of a woman gathering sheaths of wheat is located in the greenhouse of the Geelong Botanic Gardens.

Although not marked as such, it is more than likely that she is the Goddess of the Bountiful Harvest (Demeter in Greek mythology or Ceres in Roman mythology).
