In the lower part of the shield, which is blue, a silver bend runs diagonally from the top right to the bottom left corner, overlaid with a black cross. The open barred helmet is crowned with a wreath twisted of gold and blue, upon which rests a forward-facing owl with outstretched wings, in its natural colours. The mantling is gold on the outside and blue on the inside, as shown with its proper and true colors in this depiction of the arms."[4]
