Beneath an archway, a white-bearded elder sits petting two dogs, with a young couple and a child beyond him, and ten pentacles arranged in the shape of the Tree of Life. The elder, couple and child represent a family spanning generations and legacy, and the dogs loyalty and protection. The coat of arms and castle symbolize family tradition and a stable foundation. The Tree of Life arrangement shows a completeness where material and spiritual wealth flow together.
