The group is formed by a donkey and four figures resting on an oval base with gold-highlighted rocaille. Astride the donkey is Silenus, crowned with a vine branch with bunches of grapes, supported by Bacchus, while a female figure with a basket of grapes sits on the clod. At the back, we find a putto.
