The sheet is from an edition of the Lutheran bible printed in four volumes on parchment in 1561 for Nikolaus von Ebeleben [Libri in membr. impr. fol. 12-15] and is located opposite a portrait of Ebeleben at the beginning of the second volume.
The sheet shows the coat of arms against the same blue background as the portrait of Ebeleben on the opposite page. The shield is divided into a red and a silver field, the helmet, which is inclined to the left, is decorated with two maces, the mantling of the helmet is red and silver. In the abraded upper field of the shield the crossed maces originally depicted here are vaguely perceptible. The composition is framed by a boarder gilded with gold leaf, which also encompasses a text field beneath the coat of arms.
