Physical Description
This decorative image is organized along a vertical axis wtih fanciful creatures, grotesque heads, depictions of carved gems and harpies.
Subject Matter
The imagery in this grotesque include references to Bacchus, as well as objects that suggest fertility and virility such as the bull and rabbit. Such works including fantastical creatures were imaginative decorative works ultimately derived from a 16th century understanding of recently discovered Roman painting.
