Made with ReMake and ReCap Pro from AutoDesk. At the four angles winged victories standing on a globe hold garlands of fruits. These last are supported in the middle of the anterior face by two figures of Eros. In the scallops, a head of cow, a passing lion and a man’s head in the front, a bust from Hermes on the left, a sphinx on the right; at the back are three heads of Medusa (?).
