Plaque features deeply hand-carved wood and retains traces of original polychrome and gilt finish. The coat of arms features a double-headed eagle--symbol of imperial strength and power--encircling a central escutcheon, now softened by time and bearing vestiges of its painted emblem. The painted emblem still shows a faint picture of a male figure with a horse in an outdoor setting. Plaque is surrounded by a scalloped border with floral and scrollwork elements.
Coat of Arms would be ideal as a sculptural focal point above a fireplace, in an entryway, library, or gallery wall. See less
