The lace attached to the edging is of braid tape lace with filling stitches and is 15 inches deep at the corners and 8 inches deep at the top. The lace runs 40 inches on each side of the sheet. At the center top of the sheet is an appliqued Davies crest with accents of satin stitch for the lions and fist. The word INTEGRITAS is embroidered at the bottom of the shield.
