The embellishment on the uncoloured leaf is stylized ornamentation with yellow berries and green leaves. The symmetrical composition consists of alternations at intervals of berries tied into bunches beneath thin, overhanging branches and berries on thin, upstretched branches. Thin branches and large, tooth-edged leaves whose surfaces are fully painted form a wavy arch across the lower span of the leaf. At the foot of the upstretched branches these leaves, as though tied into bunches, provide six accented points in the composition. On the right-hand side, below the last bunch of berries, is the mark.
