content: The left side is shown in the main design. Part of the ledge is shown below. The tabernacle has the shape of the front of a pavilion, with obliquely disposed pairs of columns, with statues in the intercolumniation. Children sit above the entablature. Chalice and host in a glory are at the door. An angel sits beside the dado. Above, at right, are the upper parts of columns, and the entablature detailed. In the center, at right, is a small design: upon a dado stands an open pavilion between lateral walls. Not entirely colored background.
