A small rectangular cartouche is positioned at the top center, while a cartouche with rounded sides is placed at the bottom center. In the top left and right corners, a cherub playing a trumpet 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 individual plates. The emblems are partially numbered A-D, 1-7, and 9-21, with three sheets unnumbered. The coats of arms, some printed twice, are unnumbered.
