On the cover this is a deeply-impressed mandorla panel stamp whose inner field is filled with interlaced vines with flower-buds. The mandorla has a double gold-painted outline of shallow scallops; the points come together at the base of a bouquet of three small flowers from which a balustrade line extends to the frame. The frame is a tooled and gold-painted band of twisted double lines, and at each corner there is a stamped and gold-painted flower-bud. A similar frame occurs on the envelope flap, with a much smaller ovoid panel stamp. The fore-edge flap has a gold-stamped diaper pattern either side of an elongated cartouche." title="MS A 7, lower cover and flap" /></a>
