The two centre shields are surrounded by four others 

 thus : — 



Two Dexter Shields. — (1) Coupe de gu. sur-arg., a trois 

 coquilles d'arg., 2 et 1, de Tun a l'autre, acc. de trois etoilles 

 de gu. (6) malordonnees, aussi de Fun a l'autre (Reedt). 



(2) D'arg. a la bande de sa. ch. de trois bes. du champ, 

 surch. chacun d'une mouch. d'herm. du sec. (Beltjens). 



Two Sinister Shields, — (1) De gu. a la bande d'arg, 

 (Dript). 



(2) De gu. a deux epees d'arg., garnies de sa., passees 

 en saut., les pointes en bas (Diepenbroick). 



All these four shields are surmounted by coronets. 



The following pedigree will explain some of these 

 arms : — 



Werner Muntz, Ontvanger van het land Dingslaken enz, 

 married Johanna van Diepenbroick. They had a son, Johan 

 Theodore, born 19th August, 1603, Burgomaster of Dinsberg, 

 who married Christina Holtmans, and had issue, a son, 

 Johannes Willem, who married Willemina de Battem. The 

 tenth child of this marriage was Rudolp, wiio married 

 Theodora Krayenhoff, and had an only daughter, Johanna 

 Wilhelmina Muntz, who died on the 22nd April, 1769, having 

 married (1) Gerhardus Beylanus de Wendt, Brigadier, 

 Batavia ; and (2) 20th August, 1768, Werner Willem Muntz. 

 The plate must therefore have belonged to the Brigadier. 

 The wife of Governor Falck was Theodora Rudolphina de 

 Wendt, of Batavia, a daughter of the Brigadier, and this fact 

 explains the presence of the plate in Ceylon. 



Theodora Rudolphina de Wendt married, as widow Falck, 

 in Colombo on the 26th October, 1785, Major Elias Paravicinni 

 de Capelle, of Breda, the widower of Johanna van der Pool. 



Sir Archibald Lawrie has several plates with the van 

 de Graaff arms on them (see Plate 13, L.Z., Colombo) as 

 depicted in the Lapidarium Zeylanicum, with the addition 

 of two lions as supporters. The shield is surmounted by a 

 ducal coronet.
