The two large figures on the side right are Hades and Persephone, the gods, listening to the singing and harp playing of Orpheus. The golden circle in the mid down is Orpheus, singing. The red waves left down is the river full of blood, in which his head swims to the island Lesbos, after the wild women had killed him on the Thrakien fields. The golden circle above is Orpheus moving towards the nightsky, where he is put by his father Apollo with his wife to shine at night together.
