Going around the frieze: On the corner a man on horse wearing three-cornered hat, sword in hand,  horse on two legs, the man looking heroic, three-cornered hat. , Chinese roofs; a man wearing an oriental hat sits aloft a camel. The saddle seems to be decorated to look like a shield. Others are gathered on the road, which meets a river bank; one seems to be waving. A dog is running at the river edge. There is a boat out on the river. Another group approach. An outrider on horseback  is followed by two others  sitting in a covered wagon.    On the corner there is an archer with full quiver on horseback. The short side shows a traveler crossing a hump back bridge with oriental buildings in the background. On the corner  a man leads an elephant.
