Description: A statue of Poseidon stands within a small temple in the background, around which people engage in various leisure activities. In the far background, the Trinity, surrounded by an orouboros, watches the proceedings. IN the foreground, Death personified as a skeleton knocks on the door of a tomb. The Latin text on the tomb reads, "Statutum est annibus hominibus semel mori," or "it is appointed to men once to die." Below, a skeleton places a man in his coffin and another blows a trumpet. Mourners surround the scene, men on the right, women on the left.
