content: Horizontal rectangle. Somewhat more than a quarter of stucco decoration is shown. The entablature of the wall with a capital of a pilaster is shown at the bottom. A strip rises above the capital; a garland is suggested for its decoration. Four forked acanthus volutes are to be connected to pairs by two masks of women carrying upon their heads bowls with plants. The volutes frame fields over the entablature in which bowls with flowers are to be shown.
