Flanking the central architectural view are decorative acanthus scrollwork panels surmounted by heraldic dragons. The City of London coat of arms appears in the lower exergue, and the surrounding legend names the Lord Mayor, the Chairman of the Committee, and the architect. The outer border features a rope-twist rim. |
