A vertically oriented woodcut print features a white shield on a muted green octagonal field. The shield displays a stylized black "HB" monogram above three small diamonds. A limited color palette of black, white, and green shades the scene with hatch marks. A dense foliage wreath encircles the shield, flanked by upright bundles of rods with axe heads. Below, a curling ribbon bears the inscription "JUSTITIA SECURITAS." A cursive signature occupies the bottom right.
