A man in a toga holds busts of two other men, almost universally interpreted as his ancestors, possibly father and grandfather. The identity of all figures is uncertain. The central head, though ancient, does not pertain to the body, having been sculpted from a different type of marble. The figure wears the calcei shoes of senatorial rank. The bust on the left rests on a stylized date-palm tree, possibly indicating that the man represented was victorious in Africa or the Eastern Mediterranean.
