In this case the panel has been decorated with a synthetic central pineapple, of geometrical shapes, around which there are some lush vegetable leaves. The outside fringe has four angel heads, cherub type, characterized by their infant features, reddish cheeks and curly hair. Curly scrolls fill the space between the angel heads, adding a dynamic to the set. The putti heads were painted in red, while the vegetable elements and the scrolls were gilded.
