At the top there is an alphabet and numerals 1-14. Beneath is another alphabet and various detached motifs arranged around two inscriptions ' Fear God and keep his commandments for/this is the whole duty of man Eccles. 12Ch' and' favour is deceitful/and beauty is vain/but a woman that/feareth the LORD/she shall be prais'd'.
