Description

A half-length painted figure at the south edge of Bay PV2. It has a dark rounded hairstyle, a blue garment and hands on either side of a large pointed shield. The shield is pale and badly weathered, with faint vertical and curved traces that do not form a confidently readable device.

Heraldry

Blazon: No reliable blazon can be recovered from the present photograph. A pale ground survives, together with faint lines and patches of darker colour, but neither the original tinctures nor the charges are securely identifiable.

In plain English: The shield was once decorated, but its paint is too worn to tell what the coat of arms was.

Identification: unknown.

Condition

The head, torso, hands and shield appear substantially intact. The shield has extensive paint loss, abrasion, staining and a vertical crack through its central area. The face also shows paint wear, especially around the nose and mouth. Blue survives on the garment and the surrounding beam decoration remains visible.
