The pastel green leaf displays a symmetrical composition executed in small spangle-embroidery discs of two kinds—flat and convex. On the top the leaf is bordered by a row of quatrefoils and horizontal ovals in a narrow band. In the middle, a bouquet of flowers pouring forth in a fountain-like way is flanked by two classical-type embellishments. On the sticks there are stars and festoons of leaves.
