Decorated in the Celtic Revival style which originated in the late 19th C. spread throughout Europe and epitomised on Iona in the late 19th and early 20th C.

In the deep blue sea between the wave lines is "ceartas" defined within thin silver lines, overall an incredible example of enamelling. The Clan Galley is in the form of the MacLean of Duart Galley and "ceartas" can mean "justice".
