The upper scene depicts the Triumph of Jupiter as an allegory of July. To the left is a wedding, and monks at a sanctuary, to the right clerics and knight, and a young man resting can be seen. In the centre the astrological symbol Leo, below Duke Borso receives dignitaries. The attribution to Tura is debated.
