Coat of Arms and Inscription [reverse]

Flemish 15th Century

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a round metallic seal with a heraldic design. The image features a detailed depiction of a traditional coat of arms centrally positioned on the seal. The coat of arms is divided into sections, with two lions in opposing quadrants and additional geometric patterns in others. Around the coat of arms is a Latin inscription that reads "LEGATUS NATUS & TOTIUS REGNI SCOTIE PRIMAS." The seal appears to have been used for stamping or authentication purposes, possibly belonging to a high-ranking official or noble in a historical context. The overall appearance is of a historical artifact.
