The lion figurehead has a youthful look. The head is unusually commodious as there are roundhouses (with round windows), seats of ease in front of each roundhouse, and additional ones abreast of the bowsprit complete with discharge pipes. The barley twist balusters above the beak bulkhead, also appearing on the stern, help unify and balance the overall design.

This model features an unusual amount of gilding on both carved surfaces and mouldings. Gilded edging adorns the cheeks, head rails, beak bulkhead pilasters and channel capping pieces. The delicate barley twist balusters above the beak bulkhead are also gilded, as are the decorations on the catheads. Ebony inlay embellishes the panelling on the poop bulkhead and taffrail.
