To the left, an altar with an entwined serpent (Aesculapian symbol); at the feet of the figures, a cornucopia and a trophy of arms including a helmet. To the right, a palm branch. A divided Latin legend flanks the central scene, with a four-line dedicatory inscription in the exergue below a horizontal baseline, dated A.MDCCXXXVI.
