The Group of Cult Statues in the Temple of Despoina at Lykosoura.
The temple of Despoina in the goddess's sanctuary at Lykosoura, Arkadia, contained a group
of four larger than life-size statues by the famous sculptur Damophon, who was renowned for his skill in making acrolithic statues.
The form and composition of the group is known both from its depiction on a coin issued by
