A shield divided into two vertical halves. To the left, this has been further quartered—the first quarter contains a lion rampant with a star above against an argent background. This is at the forefront of a field Gules with three cushions surrounding it. The second and third quarters have Or-styled fields; the second featuring a right-handed forearm grasping a crosslet fitchee, while the third features a drakkar. The fourth quarter, against a field Vert, displays a single pike. To the right, against a field Sable, are three pike. At the helm, atop a torse, is a right-handed fist grasping a crosslet fitchee. Surrounding the shield is a ribbon-esque banner featuring the motto Nec Tempore Nec Fato.
An oval divided into two parts—the top half containing a lion; the bottom, a flower. Elaborate mantling surrounds the oval and helm, and a lion adorns the top of the crest.
