The other two sculptures in the fountain group are female centaurs, as can be seen from their breasts and faces as well as their muscles, more delicate than those of the male centaurs. Representing centaurs of different sex was quite unusual, suggesting that this must have been a specially commissioned decorative scheme, of which we have no evidence.
