Design for a frieze filled with a meandering acanthus scroll and various figures. On the right side, an old female satyr is depicted sitting on the back of a dolphin whose body morphs into the acanthus scroll. Interspersed between the scrolls are the figures of two putti, two snakes and a fantastical creature which looks most like an ostrich.
