 In the middle of each candelabra, two swans, symbols of Apollo, Augustus’s patron god, hold fillets in their beaks while perching on protruding spirals.At the top of each candelabra is a yellow framed picture, or "pinakes," of Egyptian deities, such as Isis, and symbols of the crocodile god Sobek, Hathor, or Apis, with leaders worshipping them.The "pinakes" on the right candelabrum show a ruler kneeling and offering an olive branch, a symbol of peace, to the shrine of Amubis.
