SENUNA - (Senua) - The Lost Celtic-Roman Goddess - Image from hot an ancient Temple votive - 12x12" Canvas Wall Art

hot A beautiful image restoring a Lost Goddess to the World!

The Goddess SENUNA (also called Senua) is a Celtic Roman Goddess which was lost to the world until a hoard of treasures from her temple was recovered by metal detectorist Alan Meek in 2002.

The Senuna treasure hoard consisted of many silver and gold items, including votive plaques and statues. Sadly the statues were damaged but the small plaques clearly show a standing Goddess with a helmet and shield. The votives were marked with the Goddess' name, and the this lost deity was returned to the world after being lost and unknown for 2,000 years!

Senuna was mostly likely first a Celtic river-Goddess, and then was likely also associated with a sacred Spring. After the Romans came she seems to have been associated with Minerva, the Goddess of Wisdom. By the 1st Century AD Senuna would have been a Goddess of Healing, Wisdom, and Renewal.

This painting, done by Maine artist Virginia Souza, depicts of the pose of one of the small Senuna Votive Plaques that had been left as an offering at her sacred Temple.

The Goddess Senuna is shown standing in her temple, wearing a helmet and holding a staff in one hand and holding a resting shield with the other. The original votive plaque was hammered in silver leaf.

This image gives a face to this lost Goddess, returning her to the world! This canvas is 12x12" and 1.5" wide, so it can be displayed on a shelf or altar, in addition to hanging as wall art.
