Heraldic shield. Carved alabaster. Spain, 17th century. Quartered shield with seven Moorish heads facing the centre, adorned on the border and a bird on the crest. The first quarter is checkered or chequered with chains in orders of three and five; the second quarter is quartered with towers and chevrons with a pendant; the third quarter is a saltire bordered with seven saltires of Saint Andrew; the fourth quarter is with three horizontal bands. It is crowned by a feathered knight's helmet facing left, and is flanked by a composition of grotesques with busts, volutes and architectural elements on the hats of the human figures; below, another bust flanked by vegetal and architectural elements. The composition corresponds to models common in the 17th century, maintaining a marked classicism. Compare, for example, with the one in the Casa de Begoña de Agurain, one in the Barrio del Cantero in Barcenillas (Cantabria), etc.
