A radiate divine symbol, rendered as Hebrew letters within sunbeams, appears at the top of the field above the inscription. A decorative cartouche or flourish ornament is placed beneath the final line of text at the bottom of the field. The engraver's initials appear in the lower field below the cartouche. |
