The two figures surmount the sides of a broken pediment on a complex façade. On the left is a bearded nude male. He holds drapery across his loins with his left hand. His female companion is also naked but her legs are fully draped and a scarf trails from her heavily braided hair. In her right hand is a key and her left arm supports a large pitcher. There are floral garlands and cartouches in the three reliefs between the first and second floors. Acanthus leaves surround the coats of arms within the central pediment. The building is listed as Shaftsbury Chambers. There is currently a restaurant occupying the ground floor.
