The upper part of design cut out along the outlines, painted on top. Children seated upon the floor and the balustrade of a platform and kneeling upon it playing musical instruments, while other children listen. Winged women stand laterally, their outside wings raised and sheltering cherubim. The platform stands, apparently, before a painted window.
