Frutrei Kerriiai is the Samnite goddess Futir, Persephone for the Greeks and Proserpina for the Romans.

The bas-relief depicts the myth of the birth of the seasons. The goddess kidnapped by Hades eats six pomegranate grains, thus linked for half the year in the underworld coinciding with the winter seasons and the other half on earth in the luxuriance of spring and summer.
