Content (description)
In centre a nude bearded male places a ram's head on a round altar with concave sides. He is watched by a nude youth leaning on a spear left and a male wearing a helmet in background to left. The latter holds a trophy - a cuirass and two shields on a pole. On right a draped female stands holding a spear. A shield with a Medusa head lies on the ground.
