The rectangular panel is bordered with a twisted rope molding, framing a beautifully detailed relief carving. At the center, a ribbon bow crowns a cascading floral and foliate garland, featuring delicate roses, berries, and blossoms, all rendered with depth and texture that reflect the refined neoclassical taste of the late 18th and 19th centuries.
