Ancient allegory. Man and his mechanical exploration of the Earth.

The profile of a bearded man, a symbol of wisdom; the wind rose pointed towards the North Star; the sun illuminating the waves of the Mediterranean and the mouth of the Nile, symbols of ancient civilizations striving towards knowledge.
