What it is for
The face of Metatron: all creatures obey it and the angels bow before it.
Its virtue
The Countenance of Shaddai the Almighty, at Whose aspect all creatures obey, and the Angelic Spirits do reverence on bended knees.

What is written on it
The face of the great angel Metatron, Prince of Countenances, with El Shaddai on either side and a Latin border: Behold His face and form, by Whom all things were made, and Whom all creatures obey.
How it is made
- Engrave it in gold on a Sunday, in an hour of the Sun. Made in the planet's metal, it needs no particular colour.
- Or draw it on virgin paper or parchment, exorcised first, in gold or yellow, the colour of the Sun.
- The material must be new and never used for anything else. Metal is first purified by fire.
- The size is up to you, as long as it is made by the rules. Burn the incense while you work, and be pure in body and mind.
From Mathers, Book I, chapter 18, "Concerning the Holy Pentacles or Medals".
