Zeus is seated on a throne. He is represented with [head?] and
legs in profile to the right. [Seated he is almost as tall as
the surrounding standing figures.?] The feet rest on a footstool.
The right forearm is extended horizontally forward,
with clenched hand. The left forearm is extended obliquely
upward, the hand grasping a thunderbolt.
Athena possibly has been represented, emerging from the head
of Zeus.
There have been seven other deities on the picture. At the
right stand a goddess, one foot on the footstool of Zeus, a
god (black feet) Ares, identified by the shield and the greaves,
and a goddess. At the left stand a goddess, Apollo,
identified by the bow, a goddess, and a god with a staff,
possibly Poseidon.
The throne has rectangular legs ending in lion's paws, a low back with a swan's head decorative finial and is provided with a cushion.
