Offerings to Senua
The Baldock horde includes at least five inscriptions. One example reads,
DEAE SENVA[...../ FIRMANVS[...../ V[SLM]
"To the goddess Senua[.....] Firmanus [.....] willingly fulfilled his vow."
Inscriptions
The silver figurine portrays Senua as a graceful woman with hair coiled in a bun. The breast, arms and face of the goddess rotted away in the soil centuries ago.
At least twelve of the votive plaques show classical images of Minerva, with spear, shield and owl; the five of these that carried an inscription were dedicated to Senua rather than Minerva.
Iconography
Senua's name appears in various forms on the votive plaques, namely Senuna, Sena, and Senua.
