Crest

Michel Le Blon

National Gallery of Art

This is an image of an ornate coat of arms. The central element is a shield adorned with three pairs of round-bottomed flasks and a star near the top center. Above the shield are decorative plumes and swirls forming a helmet-like structure, with extending flourishes. These flourishes are embellished with ornamental scrolls and lines. At the top of the image, there is an unfurled ribbon banner left empty. Below the shield, there is another ribbon design serving as a base for the coat of arms. The base is signed "Blondus fecit." The style reflects traditional heraldic art with intricate detail and structured elegance.
