Further details

At the left probably shows Venus scolding the wounded Amor; the right image could be Psyche asking Ceres or Juno for help, or Psyche before Venus, or Psyche bringing the water from Styx or the box of beauty to Venus; in the centre perhaps Psyche eating in Amor's palace (a bit obscure for the centre)
