Description
Content (description)
Two winged victories fly to centre. With one hand they hold up a fold of their drapery, with the other they support a roundel in which is the portrait of the dead woman( ?). At each end stands a female with billowing drapery and holding a garland diagonally across her body. Beneath the roundel recline a male and a female, each holding a cornucopia. They lean on rocks between which appears a male rowing a boat on waves. To left and right beneath the legs of the victories two dolphins swim on waves towards the centre.
