Notes:

A coat of arms divided by couple-close-style chevron, each displaying six ermine spots. In the upper portion of the divide are two dog heads, each with a sort of collar around their necks. Below only one of the same is featured. At the crest, above a torse, there is seen the head and neck of a griffin. A snake is shown wrapped around the griffin's neck, but it ultimately ends up in the mouth of the creature. Beneath the shield is the motto Nil Desperandum.
