- Vertical rectangle. Symmetrical scheme with slight deviations in details. A candelabrum is in the middle framed by a gaine with a winged female throax, carrying upon the head a fruit bowl, from which branch spirals spring. In these are rabbits. Bead festoons are fastened to the wings. Their other ends are carried by geese standing upon oxen. Below are lions rampant in whose mouths half figures with butterfly wings and entwined snake legs look. Framing lines above, at left, below.
