Fragment of a frame made from iron. It is one long piece that turns at a ninety degree angle on the left side to make a corner. The inside part of the frame has a pattern of rounded arches that curve inward and have a small dot where each arch meets the next one. The outer part of the frame is adorned with an alternating pattern of fleurs-de-lis and a second design that is similar to a fleur-de-lis, but doesn't have the center area extending out. Above this pattern there are three cathedral style arches. The one in the center is larger than the other two, and its center depicts a four pointed design. Each of the arches is topped with a fleur-de-lis.
