A scene in which a woman stands, on tiptoe, beneath a large pine tree. She holds a caduceus in her right arm, balances a bowl on her right hip, and with her left hand she points somewhere in the distance. She stands at the forefront of a turbulent body of water, with rocks beneath and a cliff in the background. Above is a partly cloudy sky with the silhouette of a bird high above.
A shield with an or chief with a right-handed fist grasping a dagger in the upper left-hand corner, and a crosslet fitchee in the right. A fess with wavy edges is at center, with the head of a buck at either end. In the forefront is a lymphad-styled sailing vessels. At the helm is a knight's helmet; at the crest, atop a torse and flanked by antlers, is a tiger. Above, upon a banner, is the motto Ne'er Bug A Glove.
Surrounding the title text are a series of pictures—starting from the top left are the tablets featuring the ten commandments; then a large scallop shell alongside a few other snail shells on a beach; followed by a caduceus in the upper right-hand corner. Below is a drawing depicting Moses amongst the bulrushes.
A the center of the plate, flanked by the images of Hernan Cortes and Moctezuma, is a night scene of an enormous palace. At the forefront is a monkey-esque statuette.

A large tree can be seen behind a stone wall that stands along a path. The tree is half flowering, half dead. In the forefront are two children—a boy who stands upon the wall reaching at the branches; and a girl who sits upon the wall, reading a book. In the upper right-hand corner, behind the initials of the plate's owner, is part of a building, namely a roof and a steeple.
