Black and white illustration on aged paper. A central burning urn sits on a three-legged stand. Two nude men on either side reach toward the urn. The man on the left has a helmet on his head. Their bodies morph into tails which become ornate swirls on either side. A siren sits on top of the tail on the right, a triton on the left. Three heads emerge from the bottom. A bird sits on a banner between crossed spears above. The edges of the paper are rough and darker.
