Description
Content (description)
Drawing of an ancient ceiling.
In central diamond Diana is seated on a cloud: her lower limbs are draped, and a scarf flies above her head. She has a crescent on her brow and a fillet in her outstretched right hand, and a spear in her left.
Golden winged draped figures hold gold garlands between them, linked to urns on rectangular corner panels.
