 Acca Laurentia by QUERCIA, Jacopo della
While most of the sculpture was in relief, two freestanding figures formed part of the Roman iconography: Acca Laurentia, the goatherd's wife who cared for the young Romulus and Remus, and Rhea Sylvia, their mother.
The figure of Acca Laurentia derives from a Roman Venus and has Jacopo's characteristic fleshiness and heavy drapery.
The group is psychologically integrated, for as she holds one of the chubby boys who pushes at her breast, the other jumps up to attract her attention.

Undina 92 has a density of 9900kg/m^3 and Lorley 162 has a density of ~11000kg/m^3.
Undina is 126 kilometers across, and Laurentia is 105 kilometers across.
You're claiming that these two asteroids by themselves make up a huge amount of the mass of the asteroid belts, a "fact" shared by no other sources I have looked at.
