One of a pair of epaulettes belonging to Admiral George Ourry Lempriere (1787-1864), worn while of the rank captain. The epaulettes are of wide gold lace over sheet metal. The strap is edged with dull and bright twisted purl, which is bordered on either side with small, thick, twisted gold wire. At the end of the strap is a small gilt brass button.

The crescent is edged with twisted gold purl, alternating dull and bright, wound around a wood core and bordered on either side with bright twisted gold purl. Applied to the crescent is a flat, silver-coloured, base metal fouled anchor. Above is a silver-coloured base metal crown embellished with red fabric. Attached to the bonnet are 20 large gold bullions on the outside and 19 small bullions on the inside.

The underside of the strap is covered with watered blue silk, while the padded crescent and bonnet are covered in blue tabby weave silk. The bonnet is edged in blue velvet. At the top of the underside of the strap is one eye and there are an additional two at the bottom, which retain their blue tying tapes, the ends of which are bound with metal aiguillettes.
