The following article is a direct translation from the classic Genealogical and Heraldic reference "Herbarz Polski" by Kasper Niesiecki S.J., (Lipsk) edition 1839-46.

The shield is divided in half.  A ram with horns stands on its hind legs in a field of red on one side, its forelegs and head raised, facing a griffin with green wings on a white field, on the other side of the shield. The animals also stand on the crown above the helmet. A banner with his coat-of-arms can be seen hanging in the great Kwidzynski church. Inscribed on it is: "Pettus BEHM Regni Poloniae Civis."

Wieladek notes that a KAROL BEHM was Canon of Gniezno about 1784. Kuropatnicki lists a WINCENTY BEHM in Galicia on 17 September 1782, who may be related to the Bem family of Kraków where JEDRZEJ BEM, who may have been a judge, was married to Agnieszka Goluchowska, and after her death, to Maryanna Ostafinska, who bore a son, Joseph, in 1795. This Jozef distinguished himself in battle as General of the Artillery.
