The images arrayed around the disk/shield are of a man wresting a lion; a man fighting an animated human skeleton; an abstract image featuring stepped oval ridges which has been overlaid with the image of a naked lady in top hat and high heels; a robot playing an alto saxophone; and an abstract shape featuring a Greek cross. In the centre of the disk/shield there is an abstract shape featuring a centre escapement wheel with teeth. The National Library of Scotland has individual maquettes for all of the figures on the shield apart from the man fighting an animated human skeleton and the robot playing the saxophone.
