In centre Venus crouches with three putti in a shell supported below by a triton flanked by two sea-monsters and at the sides by two sea-centaurs, on whose backs ride two nymphs. On left a nymph rides to left on sea-centaur, on right another rides on a monster which is attacked by a sea-centaur. Putti fly about between the groups and also frolic in the water with dolphins and monsters.
