Panel with a Vine Scroll with Grapes
This panel probably comes from the end of a horizontal frieze. Its surface is carved with a complex version of the popular grapevine motif. Here the vine sprouts branches laden with grape clusters and lobed leaves. The dense vegetation covers most of the panel, leaving little space unadorned.
