content: With the left door folding. It is divided into panels and a central horizontal band, and a circle with a lion mask. The panels have above a festoon and in the center a lozenge, with the figure of a standing woman. The overdoor shows a representation of probably the preparation of the sacrificing of Iphigenia. The frame is decorated with a stem, at left, rising from an acanthus blossom; at right with palm branches springing from a calyx. On top are the cornices of an entablature. The wall is colored.
