content: Chariot pulled by eight horses. The carriage carries on it barrels of wine being tapped and tasted by a group of men at front. In the middle of the carriage, a child Bacchus (god of wine) sits atop a barrel, and holds up a bunch of grapes; he sits underneath a baldachin comprised of a trellis wound with grape vine. At the back of the chariot, a putto sits atop a panther, feeding it grapes.
