A burst of flame and on either side a lion salient before a wall, and two scrolls ('The mouth of the Collorick beware' and 'Heare is the last of the red stone and the beginning to put away the dead the elixir vita'). A sun above a crowned male Bird of Hermes, standing on a dark, sea-filled orb and surrounded by droplets of fire; the border of the orb is inscribed with the words 'aquila anima spiritus' in various combinations, and is stuck with eight feathers. A large scroll bearing verses in two stanzas. A scroll bearing an inscription ('The Red Sea, The Red Sol, The Red Elixir Vitae'), above a yellow sun containing three interlinked orbs (red, white and black). A crescent moon, being bitten by a large brown dragon, beneath.
