Note:
Cosimo de' Medici depicted in the center as male figure with profile view holding a baton. The half-kneeling female holding a shield next to him largely accepted as the personification of city of Pisa. Reclining figure on the left represents the River of Arno. Figures on the left represent virtues and benefits that welcome Cosimo de' Medici into Pisa; figures on the right represent vices and defects which he expels.
