Above are festoons from which entwined garlands hang. On both sides a paper with an inscription is put upon a slope. The motif at right includes two oil lamps. Below at right is a bird standing upon two chalices, with two griffins sitting below upon a base. At left is a tripod; two legs supporting the bowl of a lamp are visible. Below the circle are crossed branches. (RB '45)
