The entablature features two male profile portrait rondels surrounded by laurel leaves. The frieze includes putti, arabesques, and grotesques. The attic story has two urns on either side of a central fronton with a Latin inscription evoking the mythical city of Troy and the date of execution, 1534. These elements are also covered in grotesques. At the top, an empty cartouche is flanked by two cornucopia and two additional vases/urns.
