Inscriptions
- text on object (reverse side) : Nobile si quid humus, si quid tenet Amphitrite, / Spectatu dignum si quid Olympus habet, / Aemula naturae dextra pictura potenti / Semper victuras transtulit in tabulas. / Sed rudis est omnis sine Pallade forma: / Si coniurarunt, pulchrius his quid erit? / Et comes ambabus si venerit incluta virtus, / Undique perfectum laurea cinget opus.
