| Reverse description | A solitary willow tree occupies the central field, its branches battered by a bolt of lightning descending from a bank of clouds above, while storm winds and driving rain sweep in from the left. To the right of the tree, the sacred Tetragrammaton in Hebrew characters (יהוה) radiates with divine light, emphasizing the theological symbolism of providential humility. In the background, six buildings or houses are visible, lending depth and a narrative landscape quality to the composition. The surrounding Latin motto legend, punctuated by clover stops, conveys the device's emblematic meaning: 'By the will of Jehovah, though humbled, I shall be raised.' The design reflects the emblem tradition prevalent among German princes of the early seventeenth century. |
