Volterra. / The masonry for the most part consists of panchina (a yellow / arenaceous tertiary full of shells), so do the doorposts (9'x 2'x 2') / of the onter arch: the imposts and voussoris are of travertine / and the three heads of a dark stone, possibly peperino, much / probably of selagite from Monte Catino with a dash of mica. / The middle head is, I think, that of a young woman, the others / those of elderly persons, male or female, probably the protecting / deities of the Etruscan city...
