content: Design for an exterior doorway with an arched tympanum featuring a roundel, spears with flags, eagles, and arms and armor on a base decorated with festoons of laurel leaves, repeating leaf patterns, and flaming torches. The doors are left blank, but the frame is decorated with geometric patterns, s-scrolls, festoons of fleurons, and shells. Surrounding the doorway, the façade is rusticated, with a keystone decorated by a mask with a basket of flowers on its head. The cornice includes gadrooning molding. The plate is numbered.
