Blurred close-up photograph of a small shield-shaped framed image resting in a round silver or brass plate with a scalloped rim. The framed image shows a yellow-faced figure with dark hair and large eyes, its white garment and gold-yellow ornament visible. Warm yellow and orange colours and a pale background surround the plate. No people are visible, and the figure is a printed or painted depiction rather than a physical person, so no appearance-based identification is made.
