DESCRIPTION
Perseus frees Andromeda from her chains on the rocks. The hero wears a red cloak, and holds a sword and the head of the Gorgon Medusa in one hand. The god Pontus or Oceanus, the sea personified, reclines below the pair. He wears a blue-grey robe and is crowned with a pair of lobster-antennae "horns."
