"Below is a pair of crests bearing the inscriptions "EL AÑO" (on the left) and "DE 1698" (on the right) [seen here]. The crests are surrounded by tobacco-like leaves with a triple feather plumes at the top, and they rest on the shoulders of a long-haired male caryatid holding two bunches of grapes, his upper body dissolving into leaves and a pomegranate. The lowest part of the panel frames a double-handled vase of scrolling flowers inhabited by four small songbirds." (pp. 53). |
