Tudor Period Relief - Coat Of Arms - Dragon - Lion - Allegory Of Power. Circa 1560-1600
A Tudor-era paneling or furniture element evoking loyalty to the crown. A shield flanked by a hybrid creature (dragon or wyvern); and to the right, a lion. The lion is ubiquitous in English heraldry; a royal symbol since the Plantagenets. The dragon (Welsh wyvern) became a dynastic symbol under Henry VII Tudor, then adopted by Henry VIII. The figure on the left wears a long robe (gown) and a round cap. The naked man grasping the lion's tail can be interpreted as a sign of loyalty to the crown. Oak – likely shortened on the sides – the ball is a later addition.
