At the center of the composition is a large coat of arms, decorated with multiple symbols including animals (lions and unicorns), and other decorative elements that might indicate the status or the identity of the family or individual it represents. The top part of the coat of arms is adorned with a helmet and a mantling that resembles stylized leafy decorations, and above that, there are elements that appear to be part of a crest, including what could be a bird. Flanking the central shield on both sides are designs that mirror each other, including more animals and ornamental vases.

HOC AVCVSTAE VINDELICORVM ANNO 1596", indicating that the art was made by Daniel Mignot in the year 1596.
