The revel takes place around a herm of Pan in centre background. In the background are processions of females bringing offerings to the herm from each side. In the foreground four females attend the sacrifice of an ass, which lies on the ground bleeding into a bowl. On right two females bring a bowl and spoon, while on left two others play trumpets.

Fulmina sub Jove sunt. Neptuni fuscina telum:
Ense potens Mars est: hasta Minerva tua est:
Sutilibus Liber committit proelia thyrsis:
Fertur Apollinea missa sagitta manu.
Herculis armata est invicta dextera clava
At me terribilem mentula tenta facit. (Carmina Priapea XX)
