Description

[To be checked and completed]

Six faint, mostly concentric, mechanically drawn circles delimit three rings of text. There seem to be no distinguished break in the text.

Inside the inner circle is a squat animal. A dark smudge obliterates most of the animal's body, leaving visible only the head (roundish, with a wide mouth and two very short and broad horns) and the tail (that curves up, forward, down, then up again). Above the animal is a seven-pointed star with a tail that ends in the animal's mouth.

Below the animal is an illegible word.

Between the rings of text, there are two bands of naked figures ("nymphs"), 10 in the inner one and 16 in the outer one. Four additional nymphs are standing on top of the outer ring of text. Most of them are female (with breasts and shoulder-long hair).

Each nymph is holding or pointing to a star.

There is a label just clockwise of each nymph.

No obvious starting place, but nymphs seem to get
progressively more crowded as we get closer to 10:30
