A vignette featuring the Ottoboni family’s arms: a banded globe surmounted by a double-headed eagle, itself crowned with an additional large crown from which drapes a spotted fabric. Recognizing an "M" in this composition requires considerable imagination. The design is exquisite, with a possible reference to a Jesus/Mary duet.
