Beschrijving keerzijde Scene depicting Pegasus facing right, with his right foreleg dipped in a water basin and his left raised with a female figure in front on the left offering water from a bowl. Beneath Pegasus`s belly, another female kneels on the right, washing his right foreleg. Behind him on the left, a cupid sits on a rock, leaning back and pouring water from an amphora onto Pegasus`s back. Above Pegasus`s head, a second cupid flies to the right, combing his mane.
