Description
(1) One of the six besants in the coat-of-arms bears possibly three fleur-de-lis. (2) Possibly there has been a pendant underneath the shield from the order of the Golden Fleece (information given by Paul N. Perrot, March 16, 1953). (3) The object was possibly used as a shade with the large opening turned upwards; however, the coats-of- arms seem to indicate that the object had the right position with the small opening turned upwards.
