Witness the ethereal beauty of Diana of Ephesus, her bare breasts adorned with intricate decorations within an encased pillar. Urania, muse of astronomy, gracefully holds a pair of compasses symbolizing celestial navigation.

The formidable presence of Mars emerges with helmet and shield; his imposing stature embodies the essence of war. Meanwhile, Diana Venatrix exudes grace and strength as she clutches her bow and arrow ready for any huntress' challenge.
