PLACE REPRESENTED: Isle of Wight , England

ITEM: A very small ceramic urn

NOTES: I’m not sure why the use of the urn form. The Romans hung out there for quiet some time so I assume the urn shape could be a reference to that. Also, this is not the normal coat of arms for the Isle of Wight. The Isle of Wight recieved its more common coat of arms in 1938 so this is pre that. I’m not sure of the significance of the boat but the Isle of Wight is, errr, an island located in the English Channel (the largest in England), so, boats are a necessity.
