One of five bronze statues that are part of the statuary of Villa of the Papyri, a luxury villa on the outskirts of Herculaneum (Ercolano), where they were found in 1754 in the square peristyle. The group represents five young women standing on the right legs while the left ones are slightly bent and moved away from the bodies. They are dressed in Doric peplos buckled on the shoulders and portrayed in different postures and with different hairstyles. The faces are delicate and animated by the eyes, the corneas of which are made of bone or ivory and the irises and pupils of grey or black stone. They are reproductions of a similar group which was on exhibition in the temple of Apollo Palatine in Rome in 28 BCE, based on Greek originals from the 5th century BCE.
