* SEA: The Sea symbolizes a raging and wrathful spirit that does not lose, however, the limits of the obedience that it owes to its sovereign.

* PEACOCK: The Peacock, by its head denotes Prudence; for his chest, of gold and sapphire, Loyalty, Fidelity and Zeal; in the hidden and submissive of his steps, Secret, and in the terribly out of tune voice of his singing, Terror of enemies.

* TREE: The Tree is a symbol of Ancient and Clarified Nobility.

* COMET: The Comet symbolizes a Brave Courage to prevent in time, without fear, future grievances.

* THISTLE: The Thistle symbolizes in Heraldry a heart nobly humble, but so careful of its honor, that it defends with its sword the luster of its lineage.

* DRAGANTE: Los Dragantes simbolizan el Cuidado y Vigilancia más exquisitos.
