| Reverse description | Allegorical depiction of the Four Seasons personified as four nude or lightly draped boys arranged in a processional frieze. At left, Spring advances right steadying a flower basket balanced with both hands upon his head; next, Summer strides right while glancing back, raising a sickle overhead with his right hand and clutching a sheaf of grain ears in his left; Autumn follows, advancing left and looking back, carrying a hare in his right hand and a dish heaped with fruits in his left; at far right, Winter moves left, clad in a sleeved tunic reaching the knee with a cape drawn over the head and boots, holding a hare in his right hand and bearing over his left shoulder a branch from which a dead bird hangs. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ appears in the field. |
