- Description
- The late Baroque panel is in the shape of a standing rectangle with rounded corners. The sculptural decoration is concentrated in the upper and lower parts. The upper part is poorly legible as a result of the poor state of preservation, but one can read the triangular shape with the eye of providence and the floral garlands threaded through the corner rosettes. The lower part probably contained symbols associated with death, of which only the scythe remains legible. The lower corners are accentuated with acanthus rosettes with a lump in the middle (probably representing an acanthus flower with leaves). The whole is framed by a profiled border.
