In the left foreground a shield bearing a compass rose leans agains a tree which is shedding its leaves. A corresponding tree on the right has full foliage with a cap of liberty at its top, while the shield before it displays a pointing hand on which stands a rooster. Ribbons below the British and American shields are titled, respectively, "For obedience" and "For liberty".
