An decorated marble altar to Minerva set up by the ministri of the second lustrum, probably celebrating the (re)creation of the collegium fabrum tignuariorum and its cult to Minerva.
It probably comes from the schola of the fabri tignuarii, since it was found in the church of S. Giorgio in Velabro, near to where the schola was situated (Colini 1947).

A small altar (90 x 55 x 52 cm) with various scenes depicting:
1° a togate figure, probably Augustus, donating a statue of Minerva to a group of persons representing of the guild (probably not the ministri as Zanker (1988: 133-135) believes since they appear to wear toga's and were therefore not slaves. The scene might refer to the renovation of the temple of Minerva on the Aventine by Augustus in 19 BCE, since the type of statue to be that of the cult statue in that temple. (Schürmann 1985: 68-69). This was the oldest temple to Minerva in Rome and was closely connected with the common people. The Quinquatria Minervae were celebrated here, particularly by craftsmen.
2° Tools for carpentry (various kinds of axes, saws) associated with (workmen's?) helmets (or caps), below an augur's staf, a priest's hat, and an sacrificial knife.
3° a statue of Minerva (probably the same as above) with an altar in front. A togate figure standing besides the altar, a bull being led to the altar (for a sacrifice) by men with axes.
4° a sacrificial bowl (patera) and jug.
