Note suggests an identification of the third figure as ‘Isis-Demeter (?)’: ‘mit modiusartigen Kopfschmuck nach Rechts stehend, die Rechte in der Hüfte gestützt (?), die Linke hält Fackel.’ There is no mention of the nikai in the Frankfurt description, nor is anything visible in the illustration; date uncertain
