[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 2238422, member: 649"]A lion couchant in heraldic terms, I believe? I just had an enjoyable hour down the google rabbit hole but found nothing helpful about to whom your seal may have belonged. Per hallofnames.org.uk: Tree: "The tree is a symbol of antiquity and strength... a tree stump or tree trunk may be used as a symbol of regrowth and rebirth, especially when it is borne with branches sprouting new leaves." Per [URL='http://mistholme.com/?s=axe'][U][COLOR=#000014]M[/COLOR][/U]istholme[/URL], the axe appears to be a headsman's axe (aka slaughterer's axe). [ATTACH=full]255767[/ATTACH] Of course, this stuff may only apply to British heraldry? No idea![/QUOTE]
