Large-scale symmetrical pattern with a central urn of heavy naturalistic flowers flanked by addorsed couchant sphinxes on an elaborate arabesque support from which fringed loops hang. An elaborate canopy suspended from this shelters addorsed turbaned caryatids flanking a cartouche. In light and dark crimson shaded to suggest dimensionality.
