The charcoal field is divided into three unequal registers, featuring a rotund central red lion facing right, a slender lion below facing left, and a narrow top panel adorned with rosettes and plants. Flowers fill the spaces around the lions, along with two tiny animals. The design is framed by a straw inner border, a polychrome central frame, and a narrow red outer band.
