There are three levels embroidered with a chequer board design and edged in gold purl, one on the flap and two on the apron. At the centre of the apron is the device of a Grand Deacon embroidered in gold, being a dove with an olive branch in its beak and within a wreath of wheat and acacia. The apron is lined in blue silk and has a belt of dark blue silk with a gold coloured metal buckle.
