Around the inner border of the circle are the names "Astaroth" original: "Astarot"; a high-ranking figure in demonology, "Bataniel" (right), and "Ritournel" (left).

In the center of the seal is an illustration of a horned animal, likely a goat, shown in profile facing left. Above the creature is a large capital letter "A" and a geometric symbol.
