In this three-part composition a central female figure is flanked by horse-and-rider motifs. Arranged in each upper corner is a small female figure with upraised arms; the interspaces are filled with foliate forms and rows of diamond-forms. The figural panel is enclosed by narrow borders with geometrical plant subjects: the framing ornamental band contains a repeat Tree of Life motif regularly sectioned by a waving line.
