Amidst an azure background framed by a gules border, is a large shield at center, that has been divided into quarters. In both the first and fourth quarter, it has been divided further to feature four smaller quarters—the first containing a lion rampant against an or field; the second with a right-handed forearm grasping a heart against an argent field; the third featuring the head of a boar; the fourth, also with an or field, displaying a drakkar. Elsewhere, in both the second and third grand quarters of the shield, is a lion rampant against an argent field. At the center of the shield is a smaller shield, with a sable fess featuring a castle at center against an ermine field. At the helm is a knight's helmet. Over the center design are two small circles, bordered by belts. The left contains a leopard rampant gardant upon a fess, with the motto Touch Not The Cat But A Glove upon the border. To the right, also encircled by a belt, is a sphere emitting rays of light, hovering over a torse. The motto surrounding this image reads Higher. Below the shield, upon a banner, is the motto Honore Honestatos.
A coat of arms divided horizontally in half by a large spotted band, with two heads and torsos of lions in the upper portion, and one of the same beneath. A falcon is perched above, poised to fly. Below is the motto Pernicibus Alis.

"Satire on Lord Bute and his political patronage. A view of a large garden with a tree at its centre at the top of which sits Bute holding two baskets of "golden pippins"; a devil with two serpentine legs sits on a low branch to right, excreting gold coins into the arms of a man with a fox's head (Henry Fox); to left, Princess Augusta climbs a ladder resting against the tree and reaches out to take an apple from the French ambassador, the duc de Nivernois, who sits beside the devil. Cumberland, wielding a large axe, is in the process of chopping down the tree saying "I'll cut you up root and branch". A group of Scots stand behind the tree waiting for fruits to fall, another stoops at the foot of the ladder to pick up an apple and glance up the princess's skirts; two prosperous gentlemen stand to the side holding baskets of fruit. A winged figure of Father Time flies towards the tree from the left while, on the right, a be-wigged devil (Mansfield) flies away squirting liquid from a clyster at a Charles Churchill who sits on the garden wall waving a stick; Temple and Newcastle climb over the wall into the garden and Pitt holding a flaming sword leaps down to attack a group of Scots. On the left of the scene, a cock standing on a dunghill is approached by a monkey (the Duke of Bedford, ambassador to Paris) carrying a paper lettered, "Articles of Agreement between John Bull & Lewis Gallus". Beyond, two further Scots carry off a bulging sack and the Union Flag. In the foreground, to left, is a barking British mastiff, and to right a sorrowful lion sits in shadow."--British Museum online catalogue
