The initial "P" is displayed on a banner held by a soldier on horseback, advancing towards a battlefield where cavalry is already engaged. Additionally, a lance with a wind-filled banner forms another "P." The composition is enclosed within a tripartite frame, with the central section decorated in Renaissance style with double-traced egg-and-dart molding.
