A scene in which a woman stands, on tiptoe, beneath a large pine tree. She holds a caduceus in her right arm, balances a bowl on her right hip, and with her left hand she points somewhere in the distance. She stands at the forefront of a turbulent body of water, with rocks beneath and a cliff in the background. Above is a partly cloudy sky with the silhouette of a bird high above.
At the center of this plate is a shield with an azure field and a flory-style cross Or at center. At the helm is an armor-esque piece with a large sword protruding downward at center. At the crest is a carpenter's square with several instruments displayed upon it. Behind this is long, elaborate leafing surrounding the entire design. Beneath the shield, under a banner reading Ex Libris, is a kite with a key at center and a lightning bolt dividing the image. To the left of the shield is a large caduceus; to the right is an owl standing atop three books.
