Decorated with elaborate and profuse decoration of flowers and foliage. The body of each is painted with scenes of courtly life interspersed amongst frames created by the extensive foliage, ending on a circular Ormolu base, that gives the body an extra height, radiance, and luminosity, complementing the lavish painted decoration which is slightly raised throughout.
