Repainting shield

 Greetings.

Many years ago I had to have the facing-beam over the sitting room window replaced.

The builder did this in two sections and, having got to know me, decided to make a decorative feature of the cover leading.

He made it shield-shaped and I painted it with the arms I use in re-enactment.

I've had to repaint it a few times over the years and, recently, I noticed it was very chipped, worn and faded.

I have just repainted it again.


Here is a close up.


The arms are blazoned: Per fess gules and argent a demi-lion defamed and the base of a dragon volant tail enflamed conjoined and counter charged.

Until next time

Adieu
