Description
Content (description)
The front of the relief is shown, with its architectural framework of a pillar at each side supporting an entablature and pediment. In the main area between the pillars a draped man and woman, who holds two poppy heads, join hands. A child stands between them holding a bunch of grapes and with a rabbit at his feet. In the pediment is the bust of a man, with a garlanded box on right, two shields or perhaps crotola on left. In the upper corners, cut off by the pediment, fly two nude putti, each carrying a spear and looking down at the main figures.
