Model: flat round base with a wavy raised rim around it provided with holes through which a drawstring of silver thread runs. Lined with goatskin. Decoration: the 20 protrusions or 'ribs' are outlined with gold thread. Alternating between them an S-scroll and an acanthus spiral. At the top and bottom provided with a French lily or 'fleur-de-lys'. The base is entirely filled by a lambrequin in which a raised family coat of arms is placed with a crown in relief above it. The coat of arms consists of a climbing lion of gold against a rock of silver on a checkered purple background. The lion comes from the heraldic right side. Left and right in the middle on the rim a wooden bead wrapped with yellow silk is attached. The velvet is edged with a lustrous silver thread.
