To his right, a small escutcheon bearing the arms of Vianen is supported by a serpent or dragon. The date 1577 appears in the upper field flanking the legend. A continuous Latin motto legend surrounds the central design within a beaded border: × IN × SPE × ET × SILENTIO × FORTITVDO × MEA × 1577 ×, translating as 'In hope and in silence is my strength', a personal device of Gertrude of Brederode.
