In front of them is a nude youth to left looking back; behind them, a bearded figure to left with fillet and chlamys, holding spear. (b) In the centre Ares to left, with visored double-crested helmet, greaves, and shield, the device on which is a Centaur to left with right foreleg raised, brandishing a pine-tree.
