The hall
The fine wooden ceiling features painted landscapes alternating with carved gilded rosettes.
The frieze below, of the same period as that in the Hall of the Geese, features a series of panels portraying views of Rome, and oval medallions showing minor episodes from the history of Republican Rome.
A small bronze and marble statue is a small-scale replica of the Hellenistic statue from the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus embellished with symbols of fertility and heads of animals.
Two marble eagles give the room its name.
