24: front. A garland of fruit, flowers and leaves hangs from the horns of satyr-heads at the top corners. At the bottom corners sphinxes with collars crouch on projecting rock. Between them two birds peck at an insect. An eagle with outspread wings perches on the garland. At top centre is a square panel with the inscription: N OGULNIO/RHODONI/VIXIT ANN XXIX/MENSE I DIEBUS XX/OGULNIA HILARA/FILIO PIISSIMO FECIT.
