The statuettes of [[underlined]] Prudentia [[/underlined]] and [[underlined]] Justitia [[/underlined]] find interesting parallels in figures from the tomb of Folchino degli Schizai in Cremona, a signed and dated (1357) work by Bonino da Campione, ".....the leader sculptor in Lombardy in the second half of the fourteenth century ......" The [[underlined]] Justitia [[/underlined]] "can also be compared to the similar allegorical figure on the equestrian statue of Bernabo Visconti in Milan".
