content: Genii are supporting a cloth; they are winged with heads of fallen warriors with a helmet and laurel wreath respectively. The center is Saturn pointing with the handle of the scythe in his right hand at the intended inscription, and raising with the left hand the hourglass. As counterweight for his right hand serves a skull and a garland at the upper right edge of the cloth. A trophy of weapons in background.
