An Image of Maia

There are very few images of #Maia in Ancient Classical Greek art however it is thought this is one of them.

Its from a ceramic vessel and is part of a larger painting by the Nikoxenos painter (approx. 500 B.C.) showing a Council of the Gods.

Its thought to be Maia because she is standing next to Hermes.
