The second and third quarters feature an argent field divided by an argent bend—the top party features three heads of elk; the lower party features three crosslet fitchee. At the helm is a large knight's helmet backed by leafing; at the crest, atop a torse, is an griffin with the motto Vive ut Postea Vivas in a banner furled above. Beneath the shield is a small medal with Juncta in Uno Tria printed upon it.
