Description
In the centre a female rushes distraught, while on each side one of the Dioscuri carries off a girl, each of whom stretches out her arms in distress. On left two nude warriors fight. On right a draped female and a nude bearded warrior move to right, looking back to the centre. At each corner stands a Victory holding a garland, her forward leg escaping from her drapes.
