Chromolithographic Coat of Arms of Great Britain.

£30.00

Chromolithographic Coat of Arms of Great Britain.

The shield is quartered and shows in the first and fourth quarters the three passing lions with their heads in majesty of England; in the second, the lion rampant with the double flowered and counter-flowered belt of Scottish lilies, and in the third, the Irish harp. The crest consists of a stationary lion with his head in majesty crowned with the imperial crown, which can be represented both in its real form and in another version. The right support is a crowned lion like the crest, symbolising England; the one on the left is a unicorn, symbolizing Scotland.

According to legend, a free unicorn was considered a particularly dangerous animal, which is why the British heraldic unicorn is chained. Measurements 21 cm x 13 cm. Language: Italian
