Two lost reliefs from Heddernheim

TNMM 1519 ↔ CIMRM 1116

Two reliefs in sandstone from Vibbel, found in a pit at Heddernheim in 1884. Frankfurt, Museum für Vor- und Frühgeschichte (Holzhausschlösslein), where I could not find them. They probably got lost during World-War II, but they may be rediscovered at a reorganisation of the depots.

Donner von Richter-Riese, H. Brunn., 4; Wolff in WsdZ 1894, 53 n. 36 who supposes them to originate from Mithraeum II; MMM II 425 No. 311.

1) Bust of Sol in radiate crown (H. 0.31 Br. 0.28 D. 0.09). He has small arms and holds an indistinct round object (globus?).

2) Bust of Luna with a crescent on her head (H. 0.32 Br. 0.23 D. 0.20). Both pieces may belong to a large relief of Mithras as a bullkiller.
