Vertical panel design with an acanthus rinceau with various figures interspersed between the scrolls. On the lower left a satyr and a female hybrid creature are kissing while seated on the back of a fantastical creature with horns and a birds beak. A putto looks down on them from up in the acanthus scroll. On the right two snake-like creatures with grotesque heads encircle the scrolls.
