Alderman Wood is foremost, from his neck hangs a rolled document: Queen's Will. His trail of fire expands behind him from the end of his tiny pigtail, and is inscribed Wisdom [see British Museum Satires No. 13899, &c.]. Next is the profile head of Sheriff Waithman; the fiery trail expands from the end of his black bag, and is inscribed Inquest. Last is the head of a horse, with a black bag and tail like that of Waithman, inscribed Queen's Mayor [Thorpe]. Double civic chains hang from the necks of the last two."--British Museum online catalogue
