From the Getty Museum record
The roundel displays an armorial achievement – a full display of the heraldic symbols for a member of a noble family. These elements comprise a shield, helmets, crests (distinctive features above the helmets), and mantling (cloak-like decoration behind a coat of arms). This shield has two quarters with the charge (heraldic motif) of paired black cocks on a gold field (ground), and two quarters with the charge of a gold lion passant (walking) above a red and white barry (heraldic pattern of horizontal stripes). The crests are a black half-cock on a coronet, left, and a gold half-lion, right. The mantling, in the form of densely curled animal firs, is of the colors (black with gold, and red with white). All is set against a circular damasked field within a plain border.
