Annexed engraving of an enamelled plaque, supposed to have formed originally the centre of a large salver or dish, is taken from Proceed. Soc. Antiq., 7th Dec., 1876, and shows our shield No. 14 with the date 1563. Sir Thomas Bell died in 1566; he was thrice Mayor of the City of Gloucester, and also represented it in Parliament.
A Scotch seal, Francis Earl of Bothwell, 1587 (engraved Herald and Genealogist, vol. iv, p. 19).
Another Scotch seal, the Earl of Eglinton, 1620 (engraved Herald and Genealogist, vol. iv, p. 18).
Engravings in The English Baronetage, 1741, show the same.
Also in Principal Historical and Allusive Arms, by De la Motte, 1803, which work, indeed, aims at variety in its shapes and designs.
No. 15—In the printer's mark of Ant. du Ry, of Leyden, 1525.
In the shield of Anne Bullen, 1533 (Willement's Regal Heraldry).
Also a seal, 1575, Miscell. Genealogica, vol. ii, p. 170.
These shapes lend themselves particularly to decorations in stained glass, where variations may be constantly found, but it is generally difficult in such cases to give an exact date.
