The relief represents a young woman holding a child and a cornucopia. We do not know who she is, but her attributes connect her to fertility and abundance. The type is a distant reference to a famous Greek statue (ca. 370 BC), which represented Peace (Eirene) holding her child Wealth (Plutos). The creator of that statue was Kephisodotos, whom ancient tradition regarded – alongside Timotheos – as one of the greatest sculptors of the early 4th century BC.
Marble analyses have shown that the relief was made of Luna (Carrara) marble.
