Verona marble
Taking the form of an antique sarcophagus, this architectural element is adorned with powerful and animated sculpted motifs. Supported by a base of powerful gadroons, it features a particularly expressive mask of a satyr with goat’s horns on its main face. It is flanked by two symmetrical scrolls of acanthus leaves. These scrolls are inhabited by eagles with wide open beaks.
The sides each bear a decorative coat of arms. On the first is a griffin, while the second shows a small character with pointed ears, carrying a flowery basket on his head.
On the rear side a coat of arms (1. Lion rampant ; 2. Tree torn out) framed by stems and leaves, the end of which forms a winged lion with a leafy body.
The upper edge is underlined by a frieze of heart-shaped grapes.
