Nantosuelta
Nantosuelta is the companion of Sucellus and is sometimes depicted alongside him. In a well-known relief from Sarrebourg, she is shown wearing a long gown, holding a small house-shaped object with two circular holes and a peaked roof on a long pole in her left hand, and tipping a patera onto a cylindrical altar with her right hand. When together with Sucellus, they are accompanied by symbols associated with prosperity and domesticity.
