Description
This is a cushion with a coat of arms that includes a crowned shield displaying a lion. The shield is red with a golden lion, and it is topped by a golden crown. The lion is raised up on its back paws, holding a group of arrows in one front paw and a sword in the other. There appear to be two crossing anchors behind the shield, and a brown fence circling the bottom of the shield, inside of which is a patch of green grass. The background is deep green. The letter "A" is embroidered in the top corners of the cushion.
