Corner panel with an undulating garland and amorini. From right to left: an amorino turning to his right, holding the garland on his right shoulder and stretching out his left arm in front of it; a standing lotus in the dip of the garland; an amorino supporting the garland on both shoulders with his arms behind it; another standing lotus in the dip. The garland consists of sections of cross-hatched leaf pattern, rounded overlapping petals with central triangular indentation, and twisted undulating and beaded motifs between plain bands; on the right it narrows to end in a flower beside a tapering pilaster, grooved on the shaft and with a Corinthian capital and the usual base mouldings; capital and mouldings are continued onto the return.
A plain framing fillet runs above; the mouldings of the prominent plinth are a torus and cavetto.
