A coat of arms featuring a bend with three ringlets upon it. In the upper right-hand corner is a fret; in the lower left-hand corner, a crosslet-styled cross. The background is its own repeating decoration of decorated squares. At the helm, surrounded by mantling that cloaks the entire shield, is a knight's helmet with a torse on top. At the crest is a lion, with the initials "SS" beneath his rear right leg; two ringlets near his left shoulder and upper abdomen, and a fret between his two front paws. At the left is the motto Credo Christi Cruce.
