This question has been raised on another forum and I wonder if anyone here is able to help please?
Someone wants to identify the family this crest relates to:
lion passant (ie the lion is looking to the left) with a crown above its head. The crown has 3 stars above it and a series of small circles on the edge of the crown. The lion has its mouth opened and tongue showing and a paw on a small shield with a cross ie church cross image. The lion is standing on a straight spiral pole.
Further description -
coronet crown - the actual band looks as if it has 6 stones or circles in the band - above it 3 stars - 1 star either side which is 4 pointed but 2 points at the top an 2 at the bottom - star in the middle is 6 points - 3 on the top an 3 on the bottom. So not a true star as we would say, reminds me of how a child might draw a star. The ones either side remind me of an insect shape wings.
Underneath is a lion "passant"
the lion is looking to the left (dexter) - has 3 legs on the ground and 1 leg raised and bent over a shield with a cross in the middle. The cross is like one drawn as the cross of jesus. it doesn't touch the outer line of the shield, rather the cross is in the middle of the shield which is pointed . The shield is lying to the right under the left leg and the point / bottom of the shield is almost touching the lion's right leg.
The lion's tail is up in the air with the end curved over its bottom and the end
of the tail flicked over back over its bottom. The end of the tail looks like a snake's head with the mouth open.
The lion's mouth is open with the tongue straight out of its mouth looking to the left (dexter)
The lion and shield is lying on a "wreath" which is long and twisted suggesting maybe different colours - similar to a barber's pole desgin.
Any suggestions will be gratefully received. :smilee:
