da Calamaria: Or a ram clymant sable [one armorial states that the ram is charged on the shoulder with an inescutcheon of argent a cross sable].
Agolanti: Gules an eagle displayed or.
I am not certain of the identity of these arms. The canting arms of Portinari are: Or a door between two lions combattant sable, but the arms here do not match that blazon. The field here seems to be argent; the door is argent set in a stone frame that I think is gules (red).
The paint is faded and thus the tinctures are trickier to identify. It may be Del Rosso: Vairy argent and gules, or Marchi: Vairy sable and argent.
Florence (Commune): Per pale gules and argent. (This coat is also seen as the reverse, Per pale argent and gules.)







That first Della Robbia medallion is truly amazing with the almond-shaped shield!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all these unique examples.
You are very welcome! There is just so much really great heraldry, and great depictions of heraldry, in Florence. I really want to go back there!
