Alongside delicate mouldings, acanthus foliage running in flowing, dynamic lines forms the outer edge.
Below the framed pendulum window, the frame tapers off into dynamic, sculpturally protruding acanthus foliage. The body is crowned by a slightly domed and openwork cartouche, in front of which stands a sculptural figure of a boy.
