[ANSTHRLD] Question on Animal holding something...

[Kingdom Webminister]

Sweet ... I have been toying with the idea of a personal badge of a dolphin
urinant with a glove in her mouth.

I cannot find it now, there was something similar in period but using a
regular mammal instead of a sea one.

Or a Paschal lamb, a lamb holding a banner.  I don't know whether a
tyger in her vanity (a tyger staring into a mirror) made it into
heraldry arms.  But I'd classify the Paschal lamb like a saint holding
the implements of their martyrdom -- it's how you *know* it's a PL.
