The main pediment of the 1880s Clyde Navigation Trust building on Roberston Street in Glasgow.

Carved by John Mossman, it features Father Clyde sitting on a throne flanked by figures representing the eastern and western hemispheres bringing their merchandise to him.

Above is the figure of Poseidon standing on a boat being pulled by two sea horses. Emerging from between these sea horse is the merman Trition, Poseidon's son.
