Any ideas what this is?  We were thinking a pelican.  But were also unsure.


And other charges IanRaven and I found amusing today:

I noticed. ;-) I just wonder if there is a separate ecclesiastical heraldry "language" in use by the 16th century?

I am not sure. The first part of the book is general heraldic devices. Some of them were pretty interesting. I know the pelican in piety/vulning is also a very popular image in churches and such. I haven't seen other birds usually depicted in this fashion. However me not being a herald, have absolutely no idea what exactly I am looking at.

We named the others "I'm so saaaaad", "Bishop Cares-a-lot" and "You're dead my saint". There were many decapitated parts devices as well, but they were a little gruesome (like the two heads impaled on pikes)
