She holds a ship's rudder in her right hand, symbolising guidance and destiny, and a cornucopia overflowing with fruits in her left arm, representing abundance. The figure is rendered in the typical provincial Greek style, with the encircling legend naming the local magistrate and the city of Tralles disposed around the periphery of the field.
