Abstract

Painting

A painting depicting the crest of a Greek organization. At the top of the crest is a knight’s helmet, flanked by a yellow ribbon listing the years 1834 and 1909. Below the knight is the main crest, with the upper half having seven yellow stars over a field of blue, and the lower half having a blue set of scales over a field of yellow. Blue and yellow feathers flank either side of the crest, along with two banners, one with yellow rings over a blue field with a blue tree over a yellow field; the other banner has a blue background, with yellow crowns and a yellow stripe partially zig-zagging across the surface. At the bottom of the piece is a furling yellow ribbon with several Greek letters painted onto it. The entire piece is enclosed within a protective glass case.
