A wild ram facing left, eats a long shoot of a large palm tree, from the base of which grow two additional shoots. The ribs of the ram are marked by incisions. Between his legs are three small palmettes. The left and center plants each have five branches; the plant on the right has only three. 6 globes are a star, composed of twelve thin lines radiating around a dotted circle, are in the sky above the back of the ram. The incisions are very shallow." Published as 61-4-21
