Lombardy, 17th century
Coat of arms
Polychrome and gilded wood, cm h. 46
Signed “HSF” and dated 1630
The object in question represents a noble coat of arms in polychrome and gilded wood, referable to the Lombard manufacture of the 1630th century, initialed and dated in its central part "HSF XNUMX", initials of the representative house. Between the two writings appears the image of a bird with a sword, typical heraldic elements, all surrounded by a golden oval frame. The ends of the shield are decorated with two heads of cherubs whose wings, also golden, surround the central part.
The coat of arms was also called "weapon" because the term derives from the armor that knights wore in the Middle Ages and on which they depicted their coats of arms, which we find painted on the shields and embroidered on the surcoat and caparison of their horses. The shield with the coat of arms alone makes it possible to identify a family, but weapons are needed to identify the individual since they also represent the elements that indicate, for example, any titles of nobility of the family and the person.
