About this work

This faded painting shows a shield with a coat of arms at its center. Around the shield, there are two lions standing on their hind legs, holding spears. The background is filled with swirling, leaf-like patterns in dark blue and red. The colors are worn, making some details hard to see. The shield itself has a small scene inside, but it’s hard to make out. The lions and the shield are framed by decorative scrolls that look old and slightly damaged. If you like this kind of symbol, look up coat of arms.
