A circular enamel plaque depicts Ecclesia, a woman with light skin tone from the waist up, her left hand resting against her chest. Turned toward our left, she gazes toward a gold chalice topped with a radiating white wafer. She wears a white draped garment and a gold-and-white headband over wavy blonde hair. The figure is set against a solid black background within a circular brass frame.
