The letter "S" takes the form of a winding vegetal vine. Its central part is anthropomorphized, featuring a satyr’s mask with large ears and a grimacing expression. At the lower ends, a small parrot holds a branch in its beak, while in the top right corner, two doves are in flight—one feeding a chick nestled in a carved-out curl at the terminal of the letter.
