It provides an appropriate setting for the statuettes at cornice level which represent classical Roman deities and is surmounted by an allegorical statuette representing Old Father Time. The cupola is decorated with reliefs representing the signs of the zodiac; the plinth with scenes of the ages of man and of the seasons.
