Original Item: One of a Kind. Beautifully executed this 10″ x 7″ quality wooden carving depicts the coat of arms and family motto at the bottom :- COURAGE, ET ESPERANCE (Courage, and hope).
The arms themselves display three anchors and three scallop shells on a chevron, beneath a large seabird holding yet another anchor.
Totally unresearched, this makes a great project for any historian.
