The curved foot supports a brig, with three figures on the deck: one of them is at the steering wheel, the other stands in the middle of the boat, while the third is behind a canvas. Both sides of the brig have six gunshots, in a stripe decorated with a geometrical pattern. The back is enriched with a stamped, five-pointed coronet rising out of pierced leaves. Two flags appear on the top.
