The lock is embossed with leather drawing a strong H surmounted at both ends of a crescent in a curved frame decorated with a dotted line. The knob is a gadrooned cone topped by a small ornament. The stirrups of the bolt are truncated pyramid shaped. The H and the crescents can be applied indifferently to Henri II as to Diane de Poitiers.
