The Central Scene: Aurora, the Roman goddess of dawn, is depicted leading the golden chariot of Apollo (the sun god) across the sky.
The Attendants: Flanking the chariot are the Hours (female figures holding hands), representing the progression of time and the dawning of a new day as they bring light to the world.
The Figures Below: The winged cherub (putto) carrying a torch symbolizes Lucifer or the Morning Star, flying ahead of the chariot to herald the coming of the sun.
