The Allegory of Spring, low relief wall plaque 19" tall x 12" wide x 1/2" thick.

This wall relief is a low relief replica of Boticelli's painting executed for the Castello vila of Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de Medicis, the cousin of Lorenzo Magnifico.   
Its title, The Allegory of Spring, was given as a result of an interpretation of Vasari, but the allegoric signification of this composition has given a lot of discussions. It is sure today that the theme of the paintings was taken from a work of the painter Agnolo Politien, that makes an allusion to the "Kingdom of Venus".  

The Goddess is shown in the middle of a garden full of flowers and fruits. She is surrounded, starting from left, by Mercury, by the group of three Graces who dance in the delicate game of transparencies of their very light veils, by The Spring, who takes the flowers from Flora, followed by Zephyr and at top by Amour who throws his arrows.

Halls 10-14. Alessandro Botticelli  (1444-1510).  The Allegory of Spring, 1477-1478.
