The fourth side carries an alphabet, the initials 'EH' and the date '1675' above which is a row of sprigs and vases of flowers, a horse, lion, deer and bird, and one male and one female figure.  The central wreath is surrounded by spot motifs, linear in character, mainly worked in double running stitch.
