The crest consists of two fins embossed with a decreasing sequence of eight oval-shaped drops, each separated by the same motif but smaller, with foliage and laurel leaves in the rear part; from the back of the fin rises, in the upper and lower parts, a water leaf letting escape a twisted molding at the top.
