Vesta


Here is my little homage to Vesta, the Roman goddess of the hearth. Apparently she was never depicted as a human- as many of the gods were, but by fire itself. Her temple was round and circles are associated with her. The Vestal Virgins tended her sacred flame.
She was honored by all Romans, but especially by women, those who tended their own sacred hearths.
