Varnished wooden shield with an applied shield-shaped raised section at the centre. The raised section features a painted, heraldic shield-style design. The lower part of the painted section features a seated skeleton and a castle against a black ground and the upper part features St. George's flag and a dagger.

A gold-coloured raised banner pinned to the shield above the design bears a black painted inscription in Gaelic, 'doire colm cille', and a gold coloured raised banner pinned to the shield below the design features a black painted inscription in Latin, 'VITA VERITAS VICTORIA'.

A metal hanging fitting is set into the reverse of the shield.
