Left column is decorated in the center with 2 symmetrical composite creatures that have a human face, a bird's wings, and a lion's body; these creatures sit upon a vine that coils outward. Right column is decorated in the center with a tall flower that 2 putti climb; this central element is framed by a curvilinear shape formed by vines that attach to another winged putto at the outer edges of the column.
