The female head has a protruding veil, the hair divided into swollen locks that frame the face and form two large curls that cover the ears; the face has full shapes and elongated eyes with raised eyelids and an indication of the pupil. These objects of Middle Italic production were destined to be offered as a gift in the sanctuaries of central and southern Italy of Greek tradition; in these areas terracotta was preferred, while bronze was used in Etruscan, Umbrian and Venetian places of worship.
