1) The Hutchinson Heraldic Crestis interesting in the use of two primary colours in solid blocks forming the background to a white design. This while very eyecatching makes it hard to concentrate on the design of the lion in the middle. The lion by today's reasoning should be facing the other way so as to create a forward facing message rather than facing backwards. The gold stars which are found on every variation of the crest are helpful in centering the lion.
The piece was obviously created to make a bold and aggressive statement about the family line, hence the blocks of colours and the lion as a centre point.
