The shield is described as "diamond colored" which I am now fully convinced is wrongly (for reasons unknown to me) misinterpreted by Siebmacher and from whom a faulty and erroneous variant of golden heads on white variant stems....which obviously defies the basic rule of heraldry - the rule of tincture. The "diamond" is in fact synonymous in heraldry with black or sable, not white/silver which is in "jewel terms" described as pearl. Further proof lies in the fact the other shield of Vitovec (three six-pointed stars also granted at the same time) is described as ruby which is obviously associated with gules/red and furthermore, also Zagorje/Seger arms was in that period and few decades afterwards continually shown as lion heads on black/sable background --> </gallery> <gallery caption="Ruling Houses" align=center style= "color: #292929;font-size:1.2em;font-weight: normal;text-align:center;font-style: normal;"> Ulrich II of Cilli.svg|[[House of Sanneck]] Vitovec.svg|[[House of Vitovec]] </gallery>
