Visual Description
An oval-framed scene shows four tall ceremonial wands with ornate, circular-topped finials standing vertically in the foreground. Behind and around the wands sits a pride of lions: a large male with a mane, two lionesses and a cub, some wearing garlands of flowers on their heads. Flowers, grasses and small plants grow at their paws and across the lower edge of the image. A small banner at the top of the oval bears the Roman numeral IV; the palette is warm yellows, greens and soft pinks against a dark border.
