Curatorial note
The panel shows a partially-draped figure wearing a harness or cuirass, with hands behind her back, standing on an ornamental pedestal. She supports a capital sprouting foliage and fruit. Possibly taken from the ornamental window setting of a missing panel, it is similar to SG12 and is part of a set comprising SG11, SG12, SG16 and SG17.
