This is a wooden frame around a red satin backing. Affixed to the satin is a metal crest for the city of Scarborough. The crest consists of the name of the borough in capital letters, with two golden boughs creating a border around a shield. The shield is divided into four segments. The top left part has three gold maple leaves under a St. George's Cross. The top right has a bushel of wheat. The bottom right has a representation of the bluffs. The bottom left has a depiction of a factory. Below the crest is a metal plaque with an engraving that reads, "PRESENTED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL // TO // MAYOR JOHN P.
