Description
A spectacular and finely-engraved table of the winds, depicted by 32 heads suspended in clouds blowing onto a central compass rose and naming each wind. All the winds are named in six separate languages: Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish, French and German. The four corners are taken up with allegorical figures of the Four Seasons
