A dark brown, worn, silvered, painted, varnished leather sidewall wallcovering with an imprinted pattern nearly impossible to discern amidst cracks and discoloration. There is a suggestion of two large birds, possibly game birds, sitting on top of a pedestal in the center, the one on the left facing right with its wings outstretched, the one of the right facing left with its wings down. Above the birds appears to be a semi-circular canopy and they are surrounded by an array of foliage and scrollwork.
