Over a moulding decorated with oak leaves and acorns, two griffins face one another across a candelabrum, their forepaws raised. The candelabrum has a triangular base and its top member is an urn, from which rises a flame; two fillets hang from the top of the candelabrum. On right stands a tall vase, ornamented with leaves and masks, holding fruit and pine cones.
