The panel, marked as Table VI, depicts the intense embrace between Jupiter and Juno. The iconography refers to Book XIV of the Iliad, in which Juno adorns herself with Venus's girdle to seduce the king of gods and distract him from the fortunes of the Trojan War. Beside the bed appears the peacock's plumage with its "eyes," a sacred and unmistakable attribute of the goddess.
