The three human heads allude to the three ages of man - youth, maturity, old age - and the inscription is divided in such a way as to correspond with the heads below. The three animal heads (wolf, lion, dog) form a symbol of prudence and may also be intended to relate to characteristics of the three ages. The emblem has a cryptic and perhaps private meaning.
The heads may be portraits, with Titian himself as the old man, his son, Orazio (?), in the centre, and his cousin and heir, Marco Vecellio (?), on the right. The central head may be meant to recall Saint Mark, whose attribute is a lion.
Prudence was often represented allegorically in the Renaissance (e.g. School of Rossellino relief, London, Victoria and Albert Museum), and the three animal heads featured in a famous Venetian book of 1499, the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili (Dream of Polyphilus). The specific imagery in NG 6376 is found in Piero Valeriano\'s Hieroglyphica (first published in 1556).
