A unique sailor’s needlework worked in silk thread on linen – an original coat of arms quartered with a mermaid, the Scottish lions and the English lion rampant, all between the armorial bearings of the Royal lion and the unicorn together with the Royal motto – the ship above mounted with crown and cross. Probably this was all the lively invention of the sailor who worked it.
