Within the confines of this letter, a detailed scene is depicted: A figure on the right holds a scythe and a child, reminiscent of depictions of Cronus or Saturn, the ancient god often associated with time and harvest, holding a sickle and often illustrated with a child to depict his myth of consuming his offspring. Another smaller figure to the left, carrying a child and pulling along a dog, seems to be stepping away from the larger figure.
