A dog with the heads of Lord North, Charles Fox, and Edmund Burke stands guard in front of a gate inscribed, "Portland" and probably representing the Treasury. The dog's "Coalition" collar is secured with an "Interest" padlock and decorated with the Prince of Wales's feathers. The inscription on its tail refers to a bag of euphorbium thrown in Fox's face by an opponent. Above the gate, Cromwell's face makes the central keystone in the arch. It is flanked by two axes and two masks with devil's horns: the smiling one is Lord Derby; the scowling one Admiral Keppel.
