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 Margarethe Carlowitz at the beginning of the third volume.
The sheet shows the coat of arms against the same blue background as the portrait of Ebeleben's wife on the opposite page. The shield shows a black trefoil with clover leaves on a silver background, the same motif is repeated on the Helm, which is inclined slightly to the right. The mantling of the helm is silver and black.
The composition is framed by a boarder gilded with gold leaf. This encompasses an empty text field beneath the coat of arms.
