The fragments have been thoroughly studied since their discovery in the 1880's, but they still pose some important questions. Perhaps the most difficult and the most distressing problem regards the identity of the master(s) of these works. Despite the high artistic quality and their excellent workmanship, nobody really knows, who the sculptor (or the sculptors) of these pieces actually was (were) and where he (they) came from.
