A: On the left, Isis-Tyche dressed in a long garment, sitting on a throne, holding a cornucopia in the right hand and touching the kneeling figure (A. Mastrocinque: Psyche; however, there is no certain proof for the presence of clothing – if the figure is nude, this iconography would rather refer to Eros) in front of her with the left hand, the latter one maybe having butterfly wings in the lacuna.
B: Plain.
