The plaque is stamped on the front with a scene possibly representing the Last Judgment. A male figure is enthroned in the upper center, flanked by six seated figures, three on either side. Below, a group of people much smaller in scale stand looking toward the seated figures, some of them gesticulating in their direction. At the top there is a fragmentary inscription which may be read as "Victoria."
