Pantheistic female deity; she combines the pose and attributes of Tyche, holding rudder and cornucopia, with the ear of corn and poppy of Demeter, the helmet of Athena, and the drapery of Nemesis; she is also winged; short groundline. This type is very popular on gems; a marble statue of the type from Tunis is now in the Bardo Museum.
