The motive features a castle with numerous towers, decorated with the checkered patterns of a chessboard. A female archer symbolizes the Rook’s ability to strike from a distance. Next to the bow appears the inscription "ROOK." The design is completed by the depiction of a crow in the foreground as well as the silhouettes of additional birds in the background, representing arrows in flight.
