Carved into the back of the throne is the coat of arms of the current Archbishop of Baltimore, His Eminence, William Cardinal Keeler.

The throne is surmounted by the coat of arms of the Archdiocese: a blue and white (Marian colors) shield quartered by the Calvert cross in red and white (thus red, white and blue also for our country). The shield is topped by a miter, indicating that it's the crest of a diocese.

The left side of the Cardinal's crest is the coat of arms of the archdiocese as described above, while the right side contains his personal coat of arms.
