The central painting on the plaque depicts Herse, who was the daughter of Cecrops. She is the beautiful lady dressed in a white flowing robe. The four ladies in their flowing robes are walking barefoot carrying baskets of flowers on their heads to give the flowers as an offering to Minerva at the Acropolis.
