To translate:  a silver/white shield with a horizontal red band across the middle third; three blue cinquefoils (having five petals, as a flower; the center usually pierced), two above the red band, one below; on the center of the red band, a female deer (in American English, an elk — much larger than the animal American's call "deer"), viewed from the side and walking, head facing in the direction it is walking, which is to the right from the viewpoint of the wearer of the shield (to left from the viewpoint of the viewer); on either side of the deer, two projectile points (barbed arrow/dart/spear heads with scalloped inner edges — it's hard to describe a pheon, you really need to see one); the deer and pheons are gold/yellow.  As for the crest:  the upper half of a black bird with wings spread, two small gold/yellow horns on its head.  The bird's right wing lined silver/white; the birds left wing lined red.
