Cinderella Medallions Explained

 

Cinderella framed
Starting at the top left we have the medallion with a clock striking midnight.
Next to it the crown and wand represent the fairy godmother and the top right has the Prince's castle where the party happens. 
Under the fairy godmother is the Prince medallion as a small crown.
Under Cinderella's dress being made by the birds is a medallion with a broom and other cleaning supplies since she was tasked with cleaning by her stepmother.
We have a large pumpkin carriage in the center of the piece. Under it, we see an orange - in a version of this story the fairy godmother tells her to stop crying, eat an orange, and tell her what's wrong. At the time of this story being written oranges in Europe were considered very rare. 
We have the portal to the imagination that is typical in all our Tales and Cinderella leaving the frame wearing a glass slipper.
