Description
Content (description)
In the centre is a candelabrum with sea-horses down the sides of its foot; from acanthus leaves in its bowl spring protomes of rams. A bird perches in the centre. On left and right rams spring to butt the rams in the bowl; from their bellies sprout rich floral scrolls, among which are birds.
