Neptune with trident rises from the sea and extends his arm to heaven. Mother earth, depicted as Cybele with a city crown, sticks her head out of the earth and protects her gaze with one hand. Atlas toils to tors the sky vault. Jupiter throws lightning bolts and Phaethon falls out of the sky with a wagon and all. Under the performance two times two lines of Latin text.
