Above the head part rises a pediment of a kind, framed by scrolls and bands. In the center on top is an indistinct motif, a shell or a leaf or a bead. Below it is an ovoidal medallion. The cresting of the canopy consists of a curve entablature upon which escutcheons stand at the four corners and in the middle of the three protruding sides. A horizontal strip of cloth and two curtains hang from the cresting.
