A light gray stone relief carving displays the Coat of Arms of Montevideo, Uruguay. The central element is a shield containing a crenellated tower, resembling a lighthouse or fortress, atop a prominent rocky hill, which rises from a body of water depicted by six horizontal wavy lines. The shield is framed by an ornate border featuring Latin inscriptions: "NI OFENDO" is centered at the top, "LIBERTAD" runs vertically along the left edge, "NI TEMO" runs vertically along the right edge, and "CON" is visible at the bottom, comprising fragments of the full motto "CON LIBERTAD NI OFENDO NI TEMO" ("With liberty, I neither offend nor fear"). Four circular, bolt-like protrusions are located outside the shield's corners. Below the shield, a horizontal, textured wreath is carved. The carving exhibits sharp detail and appears well-preserved, consistent with architectural ornamentation. No people or actions are depicted. This emblem is a prominent feature on governmental and historical buildings in Montevideo, Uruguay, such as the Cabildo de Montevideo or the Palacio Municipal (City Hall).
