Four similar examples, including two in the Museo Gregoriano Etrusco of the Vatican and two in the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, may all once have been attached to the same piece of furniture. According to Haynes (op. cit., p. 261), two others, together with the present example, all "vary slightly in detail, but must have come from the same workshop and served the same purpose. In pose and dress all these figures are inspired by East Greek, probably Samian, korai, while their facial types may be compared with those of Caeretan terracottas." For one of the Vatican examples see Haynes, op. cit., no. 44.
