Beneath an arch supported by two pillars there is a shield featuring a flowered and leafed field divided by an argent chevron, with three argent stars above and a rose beneath. Over the first star is an argent billet featuring a left-handed palm. Surrounding the shield is a border with a motto (partially obscured by other images). Beneath the shield hang two medals. At the helm is a knight's helmet gardant; at the crest, upon a torse, is a demi knight in full armor, gardant, grasping a spear with a long pennant and tassels at the end. From the crest downward, the entire design is backed by large and elaborate leafing. Behind the crest is a long, flowing banner with the motto Spiandact Tapeir Neill. Also viewed in both the upper left- and right-hand corners of the plate two flower stems from within a gorge.
