Decoration:

The rim is edged with a thin band of gold and blue.

 

The rim is decorated with alternating panels of iron red, blue, and gold arabesques and iron and gold floral sprays, with the Williamson crest with the motto; “Sub Umbra Alarum Tuarum” at the top and bottom.

 

The center has a design of bamboo, peonies, and the sacred mushroom.
