Juno is a Carrara marble statue by Peter Flade in Sanssouci Park, Potsdam. A peacock stands beside the marble figure.

The sculpture belongs to the French Rondel, where twelve life-size marble figures surround the great fountain. Eight of those figures represent Roman deities. The remaining four figures represent earth, air, fire, and water, completing the Rondel’s elemental programme.

François Gaspard Adam created the original marble work. Flade made Juno as a copy, using Carrara marble to protect the sculpture from weather damage. The statue presents Juno beside her peacock. In mythology, she protects marriage and the household, giving the figure a defined Roman identity.

French sculptors originally made the figures in the eighteenth century. Frederick II of Prussia established the Rondel with French artistic influence. Louis XV of France gave the initial sculptures as gifts. The ensemble records cultural exchange between France and Prussia around Sanssouci Palace.

Sanssouci Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Juno also carries the recorded property of wheelchair accessibility.
