Around frame shows circular layers of crowded figures on clouds, some of whom have wings. At the center there is a shape which consists of several concentric circles around a central very small winged figure. The entire frame sits on laurels of long thin leaves and a decorated plaque with a paragraph of text in a small script. Above the circular shape a ribbon waves which reads “Cupola della Chiesa di Sta. Agnres à Piazza Nauo na in Roma”
