Imago: coat of arms of Schneeberger's parents, displayed in a quartered arrangement. In the first and fourth quarters appears the Schneeberger family coat of arms, while the second and third quarters contain the arms of the Ryff family: a silver, rampant ibex on a black field. Above the coat of arms, on a scroll inscribed in large Greek capital letters, appears his motto: ΚΑΙ ΤΥΧΗ ΚΑΙ ΤΕΧΝΗ (Kai tyché kai téchnē). Epigram under the imago: Si pater est Adam cunctis, si mater et Eua, Curne omnes sumus nobilitate pares? Degenerant homines vitijs, fiuntque, minores, Exaltat virtus nobilitatque, genus. In Deo faciemus uirtutem
