From the article:
"Experts believe the sculpture is a likeness of Persephone, goddess queen of the underworld and wife of Hades. Carrying a small doll, possibly a votive offering, and flaunting snake-adorned wrists, the figure was deemed among “the rarest of Cyrenaican funerary statues” by the British Museum, which assisted in its return."
