One figure, kneeling on one knee, dagger tied around waist, offers king large goblet with lid in left hand. Behind him is moneybag of gold coins. Second figure, kneeling on one knee, offers, with both hands, platter with fowl. Third figure is female, standing, left hand holding folds of skirt, right hand pointing towards king (personification of luxuria?).
