An allegory. Two women seated on each side of a tree entwined by a serpent. The one on the left (Eve?) holds the serpent's head; the other (Pandora?) holds an open box. Behind each woman is a small tree. In the foreground, a woman approaches from the left towards a bird standing on top of an oval box beside a tree, and a man holding a bird approaches from the right towards an open box on the other side of the tree. Round the edge is a border of slanting S-scrolls between 'ropes'.
