Design for a horizontal panel with a meandering rinceau. Between the rinceaux there are two young male figures whose lower bodies morph into the acanthus scrolls. One figure on the left looks over his shoulder and supports one of the shooting acanthus leaves. The second figure, right of the center, wears a laurel wreath and supports part of the rinceau with his shoulder.
