| Reverse description | An elaborate gilt compass rose dominates the central field, rendered in high relief with eight principal points and a twisted rope motif along the primary cardinal arms, set against a vivid blue coloured enamel background evoking ocean waves. Decorative wind-head motifs in antique finish appear in the four quadrants between the cardinal directions. The four cardinal points N, W, E, and S are each enclosed within individual raised circular medallions at the compass extremities. The outer border carries the eight traditional Mediterranean wind names — MAESTRO, TRAMONTANA, GRECO, LEVANTE, SIROCO, OSTRO, LIBECCIO, and PONENTE — separated by raised dots, within an ornately engraved foliate rim. |
