A mock coat of arms, perhaps for George IV, that possibly served as the tailpiece or other illustration to a verse-satire on the trial of Queen Caroline. The shield is vase-shaped and includes a mug of beer at center, tents and cannons on either side of the mug, a settee below the mug, three ships at top, scales of justice with "vice" outweighing "virtue" below the ships, and a ram at bottom. Surmounting the shield is a donkey with a owl on its back, the owl wearing a tall conical hat; the donkey stands upon a "log", a volume with "bill" on its spine, a chess board, playing cards, sheets of paper labeled "address", and a cross above which "liturgy petition" is written. Plants are seen on either side of shield; below the shield are banners in which the Latin phrases "furiis in censa feror" and "vir tutis sub umbra viti um" are written
