This is a print of an emblem or crest. The crest features a central man dressed in armor, holding a shield and a sword. On his head is a curving helmet, and he looks up and to the left. Above this man is an eagle with spread wings. On either side of the eagle are two animals that look like foxes or wolves. Below the armored man, there is intricate scrollwork and leafy designs. Two lions' heads are on each side of the bottom of the emblem, facing the central man with their tongues extended.
