The frame has a ribbon on top, and two ribbon-bound branches of leaves as the bottom. The frame at the right has leaf and dart molding at the back edge, a plane decorated with carved roses on branches, and lamb's tongue molding at the sight edge. The frame has an elaborate ribbon at the top, and scrolling acanthus leaves at the bottom. The plate is signed and numbered.
