The wreath is round and is decorated with a reliefed motif of two half columns with foliate capitals supporting a gable decorated with acanthus leaves.

Beneath the pediment is a colunnade supporting triangular arches, the central one being higher then the others. Upon the colonnade is a multifoil arch. Four flowers are scattered in the space between the colonnade and the arch. Upon each half column is a big flower composed of acanthus leaves.
