It is graced with an uninterrupted series of symmetrical openings demarcated by Ionic columns on either side. The horizontal panels of sculpted frieze that circle the room high above each opening are marble replicas of Luca Della Robbia's Cantoria , originally sculpted for the Duomo in Florence, Italy in the fifteenth century and depict the 150th Psalm.
