content: Three panels framed by pilasters, with alternate variations. The central panel has in the middle a candelabrum with a burning fire above a leaf base, the lateral panels have a floral candelabrum upon a similar base with two flying birds breaking stems of the rinceaux protruding from the bases. Two festoons are suspended beside each of the candelabra. In front of the pilasters are two crossed branches, fastened by a knot whose ends are hanging into the panels.
