This cast of a relief from Roman times shows three women – mothers and fertility deities. The original is displayed in a church in Mümling-Grumbach but the cast is in the open at the Haselburg, a Roman villa which was excavated near Höchst im Odenwald. The mothers on the “Matronenstein” hold bowls filled with fruits. They are part of a Roman-Germanic cult which was prevalent in Eifel and the area of the Lower Rhine.
