The scenes of the bas-reliefs of the backgrounds were as follows:
1.–A palace, plainly the Doge’s palace. Seven arches of the palace are seen. Beneath six of these arches groups of men are standing–ten figures in each group, or sixty in all.
2.–A hanging.
3.–A gate.
4.–Three trees; a beast of burden, probably a camel; a well.
5.–Badly mutilated.
6.–Two figures seated on the balcony over the doorway of San Marco. One figure wears the Doge’s cap; the other is crowned with a wreath of laurel.
7.–A barge on a stormy sea.
8.–An empty room in a palace. The door is open; no figures are seen.
9.–Thirteen kneeling figures with outstretched hands.
