The coat of arms belongs to Maria van Dorth, daughter of Johan van Dorth and Kornelia Ottens van den Tympel van Slingelandt. The coat is mentioned in the book Armorial General from J.B. Rietstap (1884-1887), but with scarce details. The collection Musschart provided more details, namely her name, the year 1580 and the name van Nispen. It's from her grave in the Grote Kerk van Dordrecht. She died 1 December 1580 and was burried alongside her husband (Kornelis van Nispen Gerardsz). She was from an influential family, her grandfather Otto van den Tympel van Slingelandt was schepen in Dordrecht in 1548. Both the family Van Slingelandt van den Tympel and the family van Nispen were influential patrician families from Dordrecht.
