content: At left: a side view. Standing on a platform. The bottom part is formed like a pedestal, showing a medallion with two female figures, over a festoon; eagles stand at the corners. A panel recedes at left. A lion crouches on top. The top of the rear is to show fasces between two seated figures. At right: an elevation of the back. Women with cornucopias, seated upon crouching lions, are suggested on top of the curved back; they flank a medallion with a figure symbolizing the Republic. Broad dark brown stripes along the edges.
