Two circular bronze reliefs with a warm brown patina contrast sloth and industry. On the left, a figure sleeps beneath heavy leaves near a snail, with "THOV SLVGGARD" inscribed below. On the right, three stylized ants crawl upward, their bodies segmented with rounded forms. Rim inscriptions read "GO TO THE ANT CONSIDER HER WAYS" and "AND BE WISE," flanked at the base by a thistle and a flower.
