A god, probably Zeus, is seated on a folding stool. He is represented with head and legs in profile to the right, the body diagonally. Seated he is almost as tall as the surrounding standing figures. The right forearm is extended almost horizontally forward, with clenched hand, the left arm is extended obliquely upward, the hand holding a staff with a star as a decorative finial. The god has a pointed beard and wears his long hair loose, with a narrow headband. His dress consists of a chiton and a himation, which covers the arms.

There is one goddess at each side of the picture. They stand, the arms extended obliquely upward, the palms turned outward with extended fingers.
