Don't know why I didn't think of this earlier... A sugar paste plate 
decorated with his arms and a laurel wreath with perhaps his name and 
date of elevation around the rim.  Other Elizabethan designs, motifs, 
can be painted on.  The effect is to make something like one of the 
decorated dessert plates that are illustrated on the front of 
"Banquetting Stuffe".  These were used at the Elizabethan "banquets" 
(dessert courses) and frequently had a poem or song on the back side 
that the recipient had to sing/recite, etc.  For a keepsake, spray it 
with acrylic laquer or varnish.  How far into the future is this 
vigiling?  Is it at least a month away?  Could you e-mail me privately, 
O Glorious Baron-ic Knight??
