Description
-
Arrenged in the ornamental band are two three-part figural subjects, with solar rosettes and paired birds as subsidiary motifs. The frontal panel displays a double-headed eagle combinted with two vertically arranged anthropomorphicfigures, these re flanked by large confronted peacocks foreparts on either side of a blossoming Tree of Life. The compositions are separated by two lossoming trees. The repeat pattern of the outer border is of a geometrical character.
