On the left, there are various animals being herded forward—it seems like two oxen and two sheep, reflecting a pastoral or agricultural scene. Human figures wearing ancient costumes follow the animals and appear to be engaged in various actions. One person is carrying a standard with the letters "SPQR," which stands for "Senatus Populusque Romanus," indicating associations with the Roman Republic or Empire. There are also elements of Roman armor and classical garments visible on the figures, suggesting that this scene depicts a historical or mythological event. Further to the right, there is a figure on horseback, draped in fabric, providing a sense of nobility or leadership within the procession. The background is relatively sparse, focusing the viewer's attention on the figures and their movement to the right. The intricate details suggest that this piece is likely steeped in historical or symbolic significance associated with Roman culture.
