label: Description
content: Two left sides. The cornices of an entablature are supported by a two-legged winged chimera the tail of which is upward curved toward the center, where a helmet is, on top of the stem, between rinceaux. At right: the support is formed by two half-figures, recumbent, of lions ending with upward-turned rinceaux crossing each other. The rinceaux have two branches, one ending in a spiral upon the head of the lions. Upon it stands a swan supporting with neck and wings the top. The other branches join in forming a heart form into which hangs a medllion holding a figure. Usual background.
