Non-PRO English Law/Patents Law (general) description of stamps
When there is a stamp, coat of arms, or something like taht, do you explain the content of it? and what do you say about the symbol itself?

Use a text-field

...and in the middle, say what it is - stamp, coat of arms, etc. There are very few with wording you can actually translate, but where there is, I do.

agree Ioanna Karamanou : This is what I typically do as well, in all caps: [STAMP/SEAL: HELLENIC REPUBLIC, EMBLEM OF THE HELLENIC REPUBLIC]

agree JaneTranslates : [Illegible round stamped seal] [Stamp, $5.00, P.R. Treasury Dept] [Logo] [Logo: Sears of PR] I use a text box sometimes, but usually square brackets with a brief description of the item and a translation of whatever is legible.
