Carving from an Overmantel by Grinling Gibbons. A carved wooden panel featuring a floral arrangement. The panel is composed of various flowers, leaves, fruits, and seed pods. At the top, a large flower with rounded petals and a central cluster of details resembling stamens is visible. A pine cone and other seed pods are positioned to the right. A long, curved seed pod with a row of spherical elements runs down the center. A sprig of berries and leaves extends from the bottom. The entire piece is intricately carved from wood.
