Fortuna Figurine – Goddess of Luck and Destiny

Fortuna Figurine – Goddess of Luck and Destiny in Bronze Finish

Guardian Angel of Your Finances

The figurine is made of high-quality polyresin, which allows for the capture of fine details such as the feathers in the wings, folds in the dress, or individual coins. Fortuna is depicted here uniquely with wings, giving her an angelic and protective character. In her arms, she holds a massive horn of plenty (cornucopia), from which a flood of coins streams down to her feet. The finish faithfully imitates dark bronze, while the coins and dress details are highlighted in gold, giving the piece a luxurious look.

Historical and Mythological Context

In ancient Rome, Fortuna was the goddess of chance, fate, and luck (corresponding to Tyche in Greek mythology). She was worshipped as the one who directs the course of the world and decides on success or failure. Her most common attribute was the cornucopia, symbolizing the gifts she can bestow upon people, and a rudder with which she steers fates. Although she is sometimes depicted blindfolded (as a symbol of blind chance), this version with open eyes and wings is more reminiscent of the goddess of Victory (Victoria), bringing deserved success and prosperity to those who strive for it.

Caring for Your Home's Luck

To ensure Fortuna remains favourable to you and the statue continues to look like new, follow these tips:

• Placement: The statue is stable, but polyresin is a brittle material. Place it in a safe spot (shelf, desk, mantelpiece) where there is no risk of it falling onto a hard floor.
• Cleaning: Remove dust only with a dry soft cloth or a duster. Avoid using water and chemical cleaners, which could damage the bronze patina and gilding.
• Interior: The statue is intended exclusively for indoor use.

A stylish money box or a paperweight for your desk might also go well with this statue, helping you keep your wealth under control.
