AF-DI-1665.T.jpg

Uncolored engraving depicting six medals or seals, with caption text in Latin. Bottom left seal or medal shows a chimera with a sea serpent's tail, a horse's foreparts, and a bull's head atop a sea, with a rock in the background, with the motto "Sic Quiesco" (So rest I). A pencilled inscription on the lower margin draws notice to this image, claiming it to represent a seal (the animal) : "No. 5. Phoca marinus".
Page 103 of the book "Symbola varia Diversorum Principum Sacrossane. Ecclesiae Et Sacre Imperij Romani," by Jacobus Typotius (1602). With text in Latin on verso.
