Painting of Antique Ceiling. Square.
In the central circle is a youth similar to that in Bn. 6. 41 but he holds a bunch of flowers in his right hand. In minor circles surrounding the central one are four wreathed busts. Winged, draped herms with red cloth swags between them form the outer frame of the whole.
