Mirror in embossed brass and ebony. The spandrels are patterned with leafy scrolls, floral urns, and romantic figures reminiscent of the one in the center of the pediment. This one is decorated in the middle with a figure dancing to the sound of a lyre held in his hands, and on the sides with half-length putti.
The central figure is probably Orpheus, whose attribute of the lyre, a symbol of music and song in which Orpheus excels, can be recognized.
