content: Another variation of 1938-88-1693, with the emphasis on height. The overdoor is a medallion between two cornucopias, and reaches into the molded entablature. On top of the niche is a keystone, above which is a frieze with two children. They are connected with the keystone by festoons. A number of dimensions are indicated, for example the height of the column. The entire height is the same as -1654.
