Poseidon and Amphitrite

Poseidon – the Romans called him Neptune – as a white-bearded old man with figure of an athlete, holding a down-turned trident, his attribute, in his right hand. His kidneys are covered by seaweed, whereas his eyes are focused on a galloping horse with fins on feet. A young sea goddess Amphitrite – the Romans called her Salacia – is snuggling up to him, full of zeal. Her kidneys and left bosom are covered by a transparent grey veil which at the top rounds up into a fluttering bow, linking up a divine couple. Sitting on a chart made of shell, pushed by a wooden flap, they are giving their bodies to a merry gallop of horses led by winged boys. A trio of Nereids, wrapped up in drapery of fluttering cloth, is playing in front of the horses.
