The image displays two decorative panels featuring intricate ornamental designs, known as grotesques, which are characterized by fantastical combinations of intertwined forms, such as stylized foliage, flowers, fruits, scrollwork, figures, and animal motifs.

The upper panel shows a sequence of connected motifs that include robust, swirling acanthus leaves, fluid scrolls, and mythological creatures or animal forms that appear fierce and dynamic, contributing to a sense of movement across the panel.
