The female was found sporting amphorae-shaped earrings, a wedding ring, a bracelet, and a lunula, a Roman maiden's traditional decoration before marriage.
On 16 April, her statue will be featured in the "Being a Woman in Ancient Pompeii", exploring the social fabric of maidenhood, motherhood, and the priestess class in the Roman world's famous buried city.
