    Analysis of Heraldic Elements
    Supporters: Two lions, which are often used in heraldry, to represent bravery, strength, and valor, as well as courage, nobility, and strength.
    Knight’s Helmet: Symbolizes chivalry, the knightly virtues of honor and bravery, nobility, and military service.
    Shield: Central element of the coat of arms, often containing symbols representing the family or individual. The shield appears to have some diagonal lines and small circles, though the exact blazon (description) isn’t clear.
