Engraving of two women beside a flaming altar with two rams, framed by ornate scrollwork in an oval panel.

Two women and two rams at a sacrifice, engraving by Delaune

Two oval engraved panels are stacked vertically. The lower panel shows two standing women in long robes flanking a flaming altar on a stepped pedestal, with two rams at its base. Dense scrollwork, foliage and a carved mask frame the scene, and the upper panel shows winged figures and a bird in similar ornament.
