This inscription is framed by a double carnation border which also frames the symmetrically arranged spot motifs placed on either side of the inscription.  Like the inscription the pairs of spot motifs relate to Charles II.  On either side of the title are worked two oak trees holding a crowned head of Charles II, a traditional reference to the Boscobel Oak and the events of the Civil War.  Immediately below, another pair of oak trees each shading two figures which appear to be crowned, presumably represent another expression of Royalist
