On an altar to the right rest two stone tablets inscribed with a triangle and two clasped hands. At her right is a crouching female figure of Justice, and behind her is a lion. At Liberty's left is the figure of Industry, holding a spindle, with a child in her lap. In the foreground is a cornucopia overflowing with fruit.
