This is an interesting design motif showing two intertwined
dolphins.
This addorsed dolphin design motif can also be found in the drawing
room of Queen Caroline at Windsor Castle
and other grand houses in England.
It took a lot of research, but I have finally been able to trace
this motif to
the dolphins on the fontana del Nettuno, Piazza del Populo, Rome
