A portrait of a man sitting amongst a pile of books and some bottles. Standing above him is an older, thinner male carrying a staff—perhaps a depiction of Death?
At the center of this plate is a shield with an azure field and a flory-style cross Or at center. At the helm is an armor-esque piece with a large sword protruding downward at center. At the crest is a carpenter's square with several instruments displayed upon it. Behind this is long, elaborate leafing surrounding the entire design. Beneath the shield, under a banner reading Ex Libris, is a kite with a key at center and a lightning bolt dividing the image. To the left of the shield is a large caduceus; to the right is an owl standing atop three books.
