The twist turned cornucopia feature a raised molding of a ribbed motif atop a thick circle of various fruit. A large acanthus leaf separates the two cornucopia which have been bound together with ribbons. To either side of the leaf are two acanthus leaf decorated horns. The back plate is circular with more acanthus leaf motifs.
