The initials CJ refer to Jean-Baptiste Jules Bernadotte (1763–1844), Marshal of the Empire, adopted by King Charles XIII of Sweden. He was crowned King of the Union of the Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway in 1818, under the name Charles XIV John. Inspired by that of the Knights of the Order of the Seraphim, this plaque is undoubtedly that of a Masonic chapter presided over by the new king.
