It is thought that this piece is a fibula because of the holes at the bottom which show some indications of an iron pin being there.

Etruscan society allowed for women to participate in banquets and public life to a much greater extent than in Greece or Rome.

Supposedly it was found in Falconara Marittima, near Ancona, ancient Greek colony on the Adriatic coast of Italy.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's annual report from the time of acquisition simply describes the piece as "an amber group of two reclining figures"[5] and as part of a larger donation given by Morgan.
