Four people signed it. The signatures on the left have faded badly. There is a "gold" paper sticker with a small piece of red, white, and blue ribbon attached to a circle in the center of the bottom of the sheet. At thee top, an arch with a keystone showing the United States Capitol hovered over an eagle with outstretched wings. It is a very elaborate piece.
