A vertically oriented engraving in fine black ink on cream paper depicts an intricate centered coat of arms. A shield features a prominent saltire beneath two scallop shells. Resting atop the shield is a helmet draped with scrolling foliage, surmounted by a bull's head in profile facing left between two wings. Small shells adorn each wing. At the bottom, a curled scroll bears the serif capital text "TAILLE BOIS."
