notes: label: Description
content: Panel of Point de France with a variety of isolated motifs. At one end are alternating designs of niches occupied by standing saints being crowned by angels and at their feet are trophies. At the other end are seated and standing figures with feather headdress of the court ballet dancers and costumes of the period. Between them are palm trees with a further embellishment of musical and flag trophies. Below the palm trees are canopied and scroll-like brackets on which rest armored half-figures, and under the niches are turrets and flying flags. Scattered throughout are pedestaled eagles flanked by lions within scrolls, crowns, suns, plumed helmets and flag trophies, birdcages with birds, suns, moons, and stars, amid sprays of flowers and leafage. Executed in flat work of fine needle lace and connecting picot brides.
