"Cast metal plaque on a marble mounting. The inscription is in the centre of the plaque and is flanked by two male angels in relief. The angels are dressed in armour. The one on the right wears a helmet and carries a staff with flag, whilst in his other hand he holds a shield, resting on the ground. The left hand angel stands with both hands on the handle of a large sword. The wings of the angels extend so they meet in the centre of the plaque, above the inscription. At the bottom of the plaque is a shield, on which is a dragon with engraved leaves surrounding the sides and bottom of the shield.
