Four figures in a vertical arrangement topped by a large shell which is overlapped at the edges by architecture. On r. a nude bearded male, seated on a rock, holds a youth in submission with his foot on his hip and holding his arm up behind his back. On l. a bearded helmetted male and a youth above him gesture at the figure on r. Bottom centre there seems to be a table leg in the form of a lion's paw topped by a grotesque head: its purpose is not clear.
