pegasus and coronet - a photo on Flickriver

            This escutcheon (heraldic shield) is above the front entrance door of Ham House, a 17th century stately home near Richmond, Surrey, England.  It shows a coronet above Pegasus (a winged horse) on a blue background.

The coronet is the traditional symbol of the rank of Earl.  A Pegasus features within the heraldic arms of the Earls of Dysart, owners of Ham House since 1672.

Ham House was built in 1610 and significantly remodelled in the 1670s by the Duke of Lauderdale (former Earl of Dysart) and his wife, the Countess of Dysart.  Today the house is largely unchanged from that time and so it's a great example of 17th century Stuart architecture and design.
