From the Cleveland Museum of Art record

A four-legged animal pattern repeats in the top register, and winged birds appear in the central and bottom register. The birds, which are significantly larger in the central panel, may be peacocks. For related works see 1920.1245. The word lace derives from the Latin laqueus , meaning noose .
