Black pennant. Attached to the breeches side on the legs strip. The breeches are themselves built up from eight truncated triangles, which are gathered to the leg, so that a convex shape is formed. In black a white rectangle is sewn, with the coats of arms of Gerrit de Graeff and Christina van Herzeele, under a helmet in blue with ochre against red foliage. Above it a crown with five points: three with fleurons, two with pearls, alternating, and above the middle one an upright trowel with ochre-colored stem and blue scoop. On either side of the coats of arms a swan. All this stands on an asymmetric foot with foliage. Below it a scroll in gold, on which: MORS, SCEPTRA, LIGONIBUS, AEQUAT. Back identical; only the coats of arms are swapped. Along the edges black-white checkered fringe. Flight split.
