Plaster relief roundel with classical scene. A bare-chested man with thick hair and beard lays at the bottom of the scene clutching a wheat sheaf in his right hand, which rests vertically against his chest. His lower body and right shoulder are draped. He gazes upwards towards a woman riding a chariot pulled by four rearing horses, the frontmost of which is missing its head and left front leg. The woman, dressed in classical clothing and with her hair gathered at the nape of her neck, holds a ball in her right hand and wheat sheaf in her left. She raises the wheat sheaf and her gaze towards a cherub, whose foot rests on the ball in the woman's right hand and holds a torch with both hands. He looks back down towards the woman.
