A crenellated and oblong ivory field serves as a support for a pink mandorla medallion, framing a uniform marine heart, cruciform, crenellated and its pendants, adorned with “animal” shapes. Four important charcoal echinches enclose the whole. Apart from the marine core, the whole is covered with a rich stylized polychrome vegetal trellis. Two counter borders with flower stems frame the main navy with boxes of multicolored cruciform star flowers. Beautiful interior frame with ivory and anthracite "Moorish" battlements. Great nobility.
