The head of a strange horned beast is the chief dish on the table; there is also a frog on a plate. Banks (left) gnaws a serpent which he holds in both hands. The two walls of the room are closely covered with stuffed specimens and butterflies, insects, &c, in cases. The former include a sow, a goose, three owls, a deformed human skeleton.
