Two garlands of fruit, flowers, corn and leaves hang from the horns of three fleshless boukrania, the outer ones of which are cut by the edge of the relief. Fillets fly from the boukrania above and below. A small patera is over each garland. These reliefs are probably from the inner frieze of the Ara Pacis.
