DescriptionThe ground is of light red wool, in the center stands a crowned female figure holding a dish in one hand; on the right a cupid flies toward her bearing something in his arms, and at her feet kneels another holding out a bird; on the other side is a vine, and an animal (?) lying down. The design shows Roman influence.
