Blazon:

Arms:  Azure, fretty raguly Or.

Crest:  A satyr's head Sanguine, wreathed with olive leaves Proper, with bat's wings to the sides Azure

Motto:  Melior Nullo Nullus Melior (I am better than no man, but no man is my better)

Badge:   Argent, a Temminck's Pangolin [Smutsia temminckii] intortant proper, within a broad circular scroll Azure, fimbriated Or, with the motto Melior Nullo Nullus Melior inscribed upon it around. All placed on an olive wreath Vert and ensigned above with an American coronet proper of eight mullets, five visible, alternate Argent and Or.

Design Rationale:

SYMBOLISM: The fretty raguly alludes to the armigers mother's side of the family, and it represents (at least to the Armiger) complexity in simplicity. The satyr in the crest is similar (albeit slightly modified) to one used by a similarly-named but distant family line out of Kent.
