This is a painting of an emblem featuring a lamb holding a flag and chalice. It showcases a white lamb standing inside a circular frame, holding a banner with vertical red and white stripes, as well as a chalice with its front leg. Flowers emerge near the lamb's feet. The image is encased within a roundel bordered with gold, and the background looks slightly weathered, giving it an antique and heraldic style. This is in the style of Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
