| Summary: | Written on the drawing is the name Musagetes, another name for the Greek god Apollo, often used when referring to his role as the leader of the nine Muses- the goddesses of the arts and sciences. Musagetes holds a plant in his arms, the word lauro written above it, indicating the fauna is a bay laurel, used to weave crowns in ancient Greece. The god is flanked by two swans, his sacred birds that carried him and his chariot over the earth. At Musagetes feet are the words cielo, sky, and terra, earth, as well as the sun. |
