| Details | Five copper plates secured with a ring and a circular seal. The seal is decorated with an image of a lion, side on, with one paw raised, with mouth open and its tail raised. The first and last plates are inscribed on one side only. The engraving on the plates is very deep, so that most of the letters show through distinctly on the blank sides of the first and fifth plates. |
