In the center of this plate is an oval frame upon a mantle. Its border consists of a twisted braid, in addition to a beaded edge. Boughs of flowers and grasses surround this. In the center of the oval is a second oval with an azure field and a shield within. The shield has been divided into quarters—the first and fourth quarter feature an azure field divided by a wavy or fess and surrounded by three or mascles; two above, one below. The second and third quarters feature a sable chief with three scallop shells; beneath this, against an argent field, is a lion rampant. At the helm, draped in flowery vines, is a spear; above, on a torse, is a garbe of wheat. Beneath, upon a long banner, is the motto Macula Sine Maculâ.
