inscription, painting, white lettering against a red ground, SERVAT VIGIL-ANTIA CONCORS
Coat of arms of the Tyne Improvement Commission, painted onto a circular piece of hardwood (itself screwed to a flat wooden base). Design incorporates four shields (bearing the arms of Newcastle, Gateshead, Tynemouth and South Shields) and a Latin motto. It is likely that this coat of arms would have originally been displayed above a door frame, internally.
