Here is described a most intriguing metal object in the possession of the author, with heraldic features that date stylistically to the twelfth century, and likely from the first half century of heraldry in England, when the possession of arms was largely restricted to the baronial class. It is argued that the piece links to the court of Henry ii of England (r. 1154–89) and might preserve the lost arms of that monarch
