The color palette is monochrome, with shades of black and white. The engravings showcase designs like heraldic shields, eagles, figures on horseback, and ornate floral or architectural motifs. Organized in four rows of three pairs each, the engravings exhibit intricate detailing in a grid-like pattern with ample space around each pair.
