Two out of eight sides are shown form the inside. Supported by poles, of which the top of one is shown. Their capitals are connected by a frieze with a crest border from which lambrequins are suspended. The left one of the upper triangles shows a girl carrying a flower basket upon a pedestal. A candelabrum decorates the right one, including swans, a peacock, and other birds, and a putto holding a garland.
