Description:
Allegorical figures from Asia and America present herbs [medicine] and gifts to a man who stands beside an apothecary desk covered with herbs, still, flasks, vials, books, skeleton, drawing instruments, and a sick person. A Classical temple with statues of Hippocrates and Galenus stands in the background. America is represented by a native American wearing feathered headdress and carrying a cornucopia and cone of sugar [?]. Also includes tusk, caduceus [?], pyramids, ornamental garden, and jewels.
