A small snarling dog appears in the foreground next to the steps where the artist's initials "M + S" are inscribed.

- Artist
- Artist Unknown, England
- Physical Description
- This ceiling boss features four faces with traces of paint that are arranged in a radial pattern with the crowns of their heads converging on a single, central point.
