Description
Content (description)
On right a winged putto looks up at a nude prisoner, whose hands are clasped behind his back. There are two figures in the background. A draped male blows a trumpet to right and then come a Pan and a bearded satyr with a lion between them. In the background are two camels, two maenads and a satyr. Then a satyr in front of a tree leads two elephants to right; winged putti ride on their necks and by their side a bearded satyr rides on a panther. The elephants draw a chariot, in which stands Dionysus holding a thyrsos, accompanied by two satyrs and two maenads in the background. On far left cut by the edge, are two figures on horseback and a third figure in the background.
