This is a drawing of a heraldic coat of arms. It features two unicorns and a crowned lion crest. The artwork shows a symmetrical composition, with two crowned unicorns on either side of a central shield. The shield displays a lion rampant. Above the shield, a crowned lion holds a sword and a scepter atop a helmet surrounded by mantling. Below the shield is a banner with the Latin motto "Nemo Me Impune Lacesset." The design includes flourishes, scrollwork, and two flags flanking the unicorns, one with a lion and the other with a saltire.
