An almost nude figure is depicted holding a wide-mouthed, shallow vessel containing a flame. The light, shining upon itself, creates a stark contrast against the dark landscape. It is likely an allegory of Prometheus who, with Epimetheus, created humanity and stole fire from the gods to give it to humankind.
