Frieze made up out of two parts. The upper tier is a narrow horizontal frieze with a symmetrical decorative pattern made up out meandering stylized vegetal rinceaux. Below is a wider field with rinceaux running along the upper border and two sides. In the middle is a motif with two flowers and simple strapwork. On either side of this motif, a bird is placed on a seperate rinceau. The birds are turned away from each other, but are looking back to meet each other’s gaze over their wings.
