The frieze has been described as grapes, but look rather more like blackberries to me. The coat of arms is that of the Bayning family who built or rebuilt the building in the 17th century. The feature top left is a bit odd, but may be an elaborated fleur-de-lys. All of these motifs are repeated elsewhere on the frontage. The panel top right is merely unevenly stippled. The pargetting is considered to be about as old as the building.
