A small rectangular cartouche is positioned at the top center, while a cartouche with rounded sides is located at the bottom center. In the top left and right corners, a trumpet-playing cherub emerges from a volute. This piece is part of a series of 18 sheets featuring 27 emblems and 45 coats of arms, printed in the center of separate plates. The emblems are partially numbered A-D, 1-7, and 9-21. Three sheets are unnumbered. The coats of arms, some of which are printed twice, are unnumbered.
