The design is executed in bold high relief with fine detailing on feathers and scales. The surrounding legend, divided into two arcs, reads ALÞINGI VAS SETT AT RAÞI ULFLIOTS · OK ALLRA LANDSMANNA (The Althing was established on Ulfljótr's advice and that of all the people), with the engraver's initials G.E. appearing in the lower field.
