Punched into the back of this large copper panel is the mark of the Antwerp coppersmith Pieter Stas, which consists of his initials inside a heart-shaped design, along with the two hands which were the symbols of the Antwerp guild. The reverse is also inscribed with the date "Anno 1604", and an inscription which reads "Guido Vniu / del / Franch Ollan/ dese / n. 11."
