 | | Stylistic parallels for the clad figures come from the Tanagra and Myrina statuettes, as well as from Capua, the Tiber, and Fregellae. |
 | | The nude or seminude figures represent two stylistic origins, one Greek-inspired, following models by Praxiteles or Skopas, and the other more schematic, with parallels from Mondragone, the Mefitis sanctuary at Valle d'Ansanto, the sanctuary of Dea Marica at Garigliano, and Pompeii. |
 | | It should further be noticed that all the statuettes were found without heads, probably indicating that the heads were removed as part of the ritual offering. |
