Depicts a fountain in the middle of a city square crowded with people on foot and in horse-drawn carriages. The fountain is round with a rocky centerpiece on which larger than life human and animal figures are seated, including a horse and a snake. Rising from the center is a tall obelisk carved with hieroglyphics, atop which a bird with a branch in its mouth is perched. A plaque on the obelisk reads: "Innocentius Decimus P.M. natali domo Pamphilia..."
