A lion holding a coat of arms is placed before a river landscape. On the left, three soldiers are depicted: one standing and holding a pike, and two seated around a stone playing dice. On the right, a soldier plays a trumpet adorned with a banner bearing the Jacovacci coat of arms. Behind the heraldic shield, a battalion of soldiers armed with lances is visible. One soldier holds a side drum to keep the rhythm. In the background, ships can be seen; on the promontory to the right, there is a round-based tower from which a column of smoke rises. Compass point traces are visible in the crescent moons.
