<p>[QUOTE="Adrian Lewis, post: 2439692, member: 12565"]By the 'curls on the feet' I take it you mean the scroll-work. These were simple provincial carpenters/amateur carvers. Outlined in red at the bottom is what I see as an interpretation of the heraldic bar you mention. At the top also outlined in red you can see the finish on the sholders above the scroll-work. These were indeed not made by a master carver or anywhere near so expecting a heraldic depiction of the fleur-de-lys I would say was reaching.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]264671[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
