The shield is golden, a red sinister facing griffin, his right claw leaning on top of an inescutcheon. The inescutcheon is parted per pale into silver and black and charged with an eagle in counterchanged colours.
Meaning:
No historical context could be found, but the ensemble was in use on former seals in the 20th century and thus kept.
