At center is a gilt insignia of the iconic Oscar knight standing in front of a film reel in a pose that suggests Leonardo da Vinci's ''Vitruvian Man''. Signed by the Academy president Walter Wanger and secretary with an official gilt stamp. Next to stamp is John Ford's name in an unknown hand. Measures 10'' x 11.5''.
