The shield is supported by a rampant griffin (symbolizing vigilance and strength) and a lion with a fish tail (a sea lion, denoting maritime power), while a kneeling knight brandishes an axe, signifying martial readiness and loyalty. Ornate mantling, a golden circlet, and decorative elements reinforce its ceremonial grandeur.
