The figures are supported on a roughly rectangular base with sloping sides which is decorated on top with applied flowers and leaves and cherub-masks. At the back of the base is a tree with lateral branches bearing applied leaves and at the top, four perching birds. A cow standing in front of it with its head looking towards the viewer, is being milked into a bucket by a woman seated on a three-legged stool.
