The font represents a fusion of scenes from the Old Testament and from classical mythology: The Creation of Man, Adam blaming Eve, the Expulsion, Hercules and the Nemean Lion, Hercules and the Centaur. This cast was taken from the marble original ascribed to Antonio Federighi dei Tolomei and is situated in the Chapel of St. John the Baptist in Siena Cathedral.
