Crenelated towers and walls above three rows of fleur-de-lis. A ship on a sea with full sails. Olive branches at the bottom.
The preparatory drawing for this print is located at the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. This is an imaginary coat of arms by Charles Meryon, but the ship may have been copied from a medieval stone relief in Bourges (Burty, 1879).
