The image features personifications of virtues and decorative elements. Three allegorical figures are positioned around an altar, surrounded by a circular frame. The figures are engaged in a ritualistic act, with one holding tongs and another reaching towards a cloud above. The frame is adorned with Latin inscriptions and elaborate scrollwork. Cherubic figures with garlands and musical instruments flank the base. The scene is set against a pillar topped with a vase of flowers.
