A curiosity; the Enterprise wall in the Ent-D/E

Y'know, the one in the conference lounges. The Ent-D had this wall depicting the Enterprise ships, and the Ent-E actually had full golden-colored ship models suspended midair in a case. On other Galaxy/Sovereign class ships, what's on that wall? This came to me when I was thinking some story ideas (where my main ship is a Sovereign), and thought about a scene with the mains in the conference lounge. It came to me then, what would be there for that ship? Somehow, I don't think every Sovereign has the gold Enterprises, just like how I don't think every Galaxy had that Ent wall. The name of the ship is the Valkyrie, so I toyed with the idea of there being some beautiful painting of a Valkyrie from Norse mythology or something. That maybe each ship has something that is somehow relevant to its name placed there. But that's just a thought. I really have no idea, and I'd like to hear what you think.

Thoughts?
 
To put it simply it's your story so you can have it be whatever you want.

Unfortunately though we never saw an episode where another Galaxy or Sovereign's briefing room was shown. It's possible that the Galaxy may have the wall pattern that came in in the later seasons. In YE they showed a console there. Same with the Enterprise-E - in Nemesis we saw a large display breaking the model case in half. Maybe just a console.

But, as I said earlier, your choice. A painting sounds like a great idea to be there. Maybe a Statue or something?
 
The Ent-D and E had other gold vessel models because it was the latest in a line of vessels with the same name. A "tradition" ship.

Other vessels might have anything in there, I'd say it would vary from ship to ship given Captain's preferences.
 
Other ships probably had a wall similar to that seen starting in TNG season five. It was just a regular bulkhead. The Enterprise Wall had been removed. This was done, I think because the TOS crew filmed TUC on the D set during the hiatus between TNG's seasons four and five, and they had remolded the sets to make them look like the A. I don't know this for sure, but it's my guess that the Enterprise Wall was either damaged beyond repair or destroyed entirely.
