About this work

This drawing shows a fancy coat of arms with a lion in the center, holding a shield. Above the lion is a crown with two birds perched on it. Swirls, leaves, and flowers frame the whole thing, and the name "Ezekiel Price" is written in a loop below. The lion looks strong and proud, which was common in old family symbols. These designs were often used to show power or history. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more of their collection.
