Caption from the museum: "Der in Homers Odyssee und Ovids Metamorphosen überlieferte Ehebruch der Venus wird hier - nicht ohne Humor - wiedergegeben: Der misstrauische Vulkan inspiziert das Bett seiner Frau, wärend der Kriegsgott sich in voller Rüstung unter dem Tisch verkrochen hat und vergeblich versucht, den kläffenden Haushund zu beruhigen."
