The title is lettered above an elevation featuring two windows with shell-like over window panels with birds, and above festoons of flowers with central profile portrait roundels. A frieze above in the cornice featuring scrolling acanthus leaves and the letters H and A. In between the windows, a large vase and possibly clock with the roman numerals along the body and a snake’s head pointing to the central numeral. The foot of the vase is decorated with three female figures, a putti, arms and armor, spears with banners, and birds. Above four winged putti. On either side of the wall elevation, are two vertical arabesque ornament designs featuring similar motifs, vases, figures, and flaming torches. The plate is signed.
