The distinctive festoon pattern on the leaf, which is made of a combination of uncoloured silk and gold net, consist of spangles of various shapes: disks, stars, flowers, almonds, threads, and so on, silvered or gilded. The yellow sticks are embellished with pressed stylized ornamentation and steel rivet inlay. On the left guard- stick there is a small, silver escutcheon: in the field of a disc-shaped shield tapering to a point at the bottom, a right arm with its elbow on a crown holds a sword underneath the sword is a star. On an opened helmet facing right is a bird also facing right, its throat pierced by an arrow.
