Is it Ceres, the goddess after whom ‘cereal’ is named? And if so, she kept corn in one hand but a scythe in the other.
I think that's Brigid, the Celtic goddess of spring and healing. Anyone would keep on her right side if they knew her father, Dagda - a big bugger he was...
Yes it is Brigid. She is also the patron saint of poultry and poultry farmers. There is what looks like a duck at the bottom left of the statue. I think Yorkies got there first, so over to him.
