From the backs of the sphinxes rises the central platform, which is applied on the three incurved faces with panels chased with classical scenes, and from which rises a truncated column of palm leaves, supporting a central dish ornamented with classical anthemia and egg-and-dart moldings. Three tri-part foliate scroll branches spring from the palm trunk, the lower part terminating in a Bacchic mask and the other two supporting two-light candle branches. The round, shallow dish is engraved at center with the arms of Kirkcaldy quartering Kinnaird and another, impaling Fitzgerald, for Charles, 8th Baron Kinnaird (1780-1826) and his wife, Lady Olivia-Letitia-Catherine Fitzgerald (d. 1858), the daughter of 2nd Duke of Leinster, whom he married in 1806.Silver46.355092710249929801
