Figure emblematic of Flora, or the sense of smell. Comprising a standing woman leaning on a square pedestal topped with a pieced vase round which she extends her left arm. Her right hand holding a posy is raised towards her nose. She is barefoot and wears over a white petticoat, a deep pink dress, scattered with flowers in red and white amid maroon foliage, tied at the waist with a gold cord, and falling open at the left breast; swathed in a green and yellow cloak, the upper part lined in red. Pedestal and square plinth marbled in purple and applied with flowers and foliage.
