A woodcut illustration displays a heraldic coat of arms. The central feature is a shield escutcheon: the primary shield in a heraldic display. This shield is white argent: the heraldic term for silver or white and features a red diagonal stripe bend gules: a red stripe running from the top left to the bottom right. A tilting helmet stechelhelm: a heavy helmet used in tournaments sits above the shield in profile. A crown coronet: a small crown indicating rank rests on the helmet. Two spread wings vol: a pair of wings used as a heraldic crest rise from the crown. These wings repeat the red and white design of the shield. Ornate, scrolling decorations mantling: decorative drapery representing the cloth traditionally hung from a helmet frame the entire achievement.
