In the centre are four impressions of the Prince of Wales triple ostrich feather badge within a coronet and with a blank label, arranged as a star. In each corner of the rectangle on each side is an ornament, practically forming a quarter circle, adorned with scrolls and the design of a heart, and the field is powdered with a semis of flaming hearts.
