- Across the top four hillocks with pine trees. At the center a small church with two black birds perched. In the sky 16 black birds. Two cross bands. At the bottom a large flowering plant on L and R, a flowering plant in the center with two white perched birds. A dog on the R and a lion on the L. Reversing trefoil border all four sides. //
- Inscription
- No Tongue can speak no Pen can well / Express, the punishments prepared for / wickedness, the quickest thought by no / Means can conceive what they shall / Suffer who ungodly live. / The work of Jane Slack finshed in the / Eight year of her age. / There is nothing that more betrays a bad / And ungenerous spirit then the giving of / secret stabs to a Man's Reputation // (Quote from The Spectator, Joseph Addison, 1711)
