Description:
A variation of the scheme of -1532. The arch at left is reduced to a narrow strip. The central motif below is a circular medallion with a seated man, carried by the wings of two crouched griffins and supported by women seated upon the pointed arches. A spherical panel at left is decorated with an ovoidal medallion supported by seated women. Above is a view similar to that in -1524 with what probably means a trellis architecture in the center.
