The condition represented is identical to that of the terracotta model XVIII.26, with the fetus in face presentation, but in posterior position. In the face presentation, the reference point of the presented part is the chin, accordingly designated as the "face-presentation index" (whereas, for example, the "breech presentation index" is the sacrum). This teaching model was commissioned by Giuseppe Galletti.
