Die vier hohen Verbündeten mit ihren ersten Heerführern (The Four High Allies with Their Foremost Commanders)
Eight uniformed portraits in a scrolled frame, under a crowned double-headed eagle, with an Ottoman crescent flag at left and a Bulgarian tricolour with a lion emblem at right. At the centre a sword stands upright through a pair of scales in a laurel wreath. The tell is the justice emblem and state symbols gathered round the portraits, which present the alliance as one lawful, unified cause without an argument.
