Description

A carved wooden panel stands on a lattice fence above a low wooden box with a plain flat board top. The panel has a wavy-line border and two round rosette designs flanking a central motif of an arch above a block-like form. Vertical leaf-like carved bands separate the three fields, and leafy plants show at the left edge.

Description, scan 2
A rectangular wooden panel carved with a wavy border and three framed motifs: a rosette in a round frame at each side and a central arched form with columns above a stepped base, flanked by upright leaf-like shapes. The panel is propped against a lattice background and rests on a plain wooden table with a pale top and an open lower frame. The carving is shallow and clear, and the wood grain is visible.
