Allegorical figure "Peace"

In front of the obelisk, framed by painted standards with the golden inscription "PAX," sits Minerva (or Pallas Athena), the goddess of wisdom and prudent military art, adorned with a feathered helmet. In her right hand she holds a laurel wreath, and in her left—the lyre of Apollo. The shield and sword are set aside. Polychrome painting with gold accents. Johann Joachim Kändler, 1752.
