A 17th or 18th century polychrome-decorated and parcel-gilt figure, probably Silesian/Polish Wearing a crown and armour beneath a red cloak, in his right hand a sword and a shield bearing an eagle displayed recursant, langued gules, 114cm high Fußnoten The distinctive tall crown or corona clausa is reminiscent of the crowns worn in later depictions of Polish kings Wladyslaw II (1105-59) and Henryk II, or the Pious (1196-1241), Duke of Silesia. The eagle displayed recursant to the shield may be meant to represent the Amadej coat of arms, although in that usage the eagle is crowned and holds an annulet.
