content: A dado is shown at the bottom, an entablature with a gilt ovolo on top. The ground of the panel shows alternately a blue and a narrower white between two light blue stripes. In horizontal rows alternate upon the stripes palmettes from which two ears of grain rise and palmettes from which rinceau spirals spring. The alternative suggestions refer to the respective places and colors of the motifs. A garland of purple vine leaves and blue petals in on top.
