Quatrefoils are blocked in gold on each corner, with plant decoration blocked in gold inside. The inner borders have three patterns blocked: the first and third are of repeating fuchsia-like flowers - blocked between two fillets, all in gold. The second border (blocked between the first and the third) shows a repeating pattern of leaves and berries, blocked in relief against a black background, between two fillets blocked in black. The inner rectangle corners show straps and a small leaf blocked in gold and in black.
