Another monumental sculptural high-relief plaster with fiber replica after original Luca della Robbia's marble carving "Cantoria" over the doors of the Scrisity of the Masses, The New Sacristy, the Cathedral in Florence. This panel illustrates trumpet player and dancing children "Joyful Noise." Metal steel rod incorporated at the back to hang on the wall. Provenance: private collection, Pittsburgh, PA.
