In marshy shallows, two male sea gods battle each other. The men, nude, stand behind an energized scene of two water satyrs, also fighting. The man standing at left, blows into a horn, and the man at right stands poised to strike with a catch of fish. The water satyrs before the men also wield weapons: the right with a club, and the left with a large skull. The satyrs each have a human male torso, rising up from a pair of horse-like legs with fins, protruding from their scaly tails. Upon the tail of each satyr is a seated nude woman.
