The group consists of a donkey and four figures resting on an oval base with gold-highlighted rocaille details. Silenus, crowned with a vine branch with bunches of grapes, is riding the donkey and being supported by Bacchus, while a female figure with a basket of grapes is seated on the clod of earth. A cherub is located on the back.
