On the far left is a depiction of Mercury who is picking from the fruits that hang from the tree, representing the Medici family crest. To his immediate right are the classical Three Graces. Overhead Cupid soars with bow in hand aimed and ready to be fired. On the far right is Zephyr, god of the winds, who is pursuing a nymph who is then transformed into the goddess of flowers, Flora.
