| Reverse description | High-relief depiction of Mercury supporting the figure of Pandora, both rendered as classical nudes in dynamic flight to the left. Mercury is shown partially draped, supporting the airborne Pandora whose drapery streams behind her in the wind. The composition is based on Flaxman's original bas-relief design, set against a smooth polished field. |
