Image Title: Coat of Arms of Sebastian von Heusenstamm

Description: The central coat of arms belongs to Sebastian von Heusenstamm (1508-1555), Archbishop-Elector of Mainz; the shield, divided quarterly, combines the six-spoked Wheel of Mainz with the Heustenstamm house's indented field of three "teeth." A crosier and sword appear behind the shield; above the shield, there are three helmets: the central helmet bears the mitre appropriate to the archbishop's station; the left takes the Wheel of Mainz; and the right has a hound.
