According to Baroness Curstaidh Magorlick, Star Signet,

The Queen's rose is three layers: the black star is in the center with a
gold rose detailed in black, then a black rose with gold detail.  The
leaves are green (those triangular thingies are leaves), and the sword
is traditional silver with a gold hilt.  Check that bottom of the
charter to see if there are any directions beyond these. 

If you have any other chater painting questions she said that you can
