In 1427 Donatello executed the Herod's Banquet, a bronze relief, for the Baptismal Font in the Cathedral of Siena. He also executed two small statues of Faith and Hope, for the corner of the Font. These statues show a lyrical grace that is different from the relief of the Herod's Banquet, suggesting that his temporary collaboration with Ghiberti on the decoration of the Font may have caused Donatello to return to earlier methods of expression that had long been abandoned.
