Description
Content (description)
Four columns divide the field into three compartments, the outer ones arched, the inner one, which is narrower, pedimented. In the centre stands a female with her head covered and holding a roll; a small nude boy stands by her right leg. A curtain hangs in the background. In each outer section sits a bearded male on a lion-footed stool on a dais, facing towards the centre and expounding from a roll in his lap to two muses who stand by him.
