On right a male stands in a chariot pulled to right by two sea-horses, accompanied by a triton in the foreground. In the centre a nymph with billowing drapery rides to right on the back of a triton. On left a nymph rides to left on the back of a triton, her back to the viewer. A putto flies to right over a cornucopia, which is probably held by the nymph. Most of the figures are headless and the breaks on the relief are carefully recorded.
