On his left side he is accompanied by his horse and on his right a gold and white Bishop’s mitre is included. In the bottom right corner a man is depicted holding out his hand in a begging position. Close to his left leg is a line drawing of a church on a hill. The centre panel carries the name Nicolas in a scroll top right and shows the Saint standing in a wooden boat, holding a cross in his right hand and a lantern in his left. On the right is St Michael the Archangel, his name emblazoned on a scroll. He too holds identifying insignia, the scales of justice in his right hand and eternal torch of fire/light in his left.

The text across the bottom of all three lights reads:

No maker’s mark is visible.
