A trophy of musical instruments consisting of a bagpipe (musette du cour), oboe (hautbois), a pair of castanets, and a book of music decorates the other (07.225.154b). A second similarly shaped cartouche with floral ornament embellishes the lower part of both panels while sprigs of ivy and olive branches winding around an upright molding decorate the sides.
