This is flanked by replaced frieze panels, carved with running finger flutes. The recessed corner blocks bearing exquisitely detailed carved urns, above jambs carved with bows, and hanging acanthus and anthemion floral motifs in low relief. The inground veneered with S-cut Siena marble of high quality.
