Façade with Horns of Consecration

Two joining pieces preserving part of the elevation of an elaborate palace. At upper right against blue background stands a pair of horns of consecration. They rest on a black-outlined reddish-brown beam which surmounts a frieze of beam-ends: alternating red and blue circles outlined in black. Another beam comes between the frieze and part of a half-rosette metope in red and gray and blue.
