On the left, a man with a stone table presents war. Putti play with weapons on this side of the performance and war rages in the background in the landscape and is a fire. On the right, a man with a stone table presents the Vrede. Play putti with musical instruments, because in times of peace the arts flourish. The landscape is hunted and plowed. Putti with stone tables fly in the air, in which laws are chiseled. Two putti point to a scale on the sun, which can turn from day to night.
