At the center of this plate, amidst a border containing the lettering of the title text, is a shield divided into quarters. The first and fourth quarters show an argent field divided by a gules fess, with three demi griffins surrounding it; two above, one below. The second and third quarters show a sable field divided by an argent chevron with three sable roundels upon it. Three embattlements surround this; two above, one below. At the helm is a knight's helmet; at the crest, from within a battlement is a raised right-handed, armored fist grasping a demi griffin. The helm is backed by long, elaborate leafing that hangs halfway down the sides of the shield. The other half, and further below, contains flowers, leaves, and cattails. Above the monogram of the plate owner is a long, flowing banner—upon which is the motto Manus Hæc Inimica Tyrannis.
