A four-compartment embossed leather sheath with a heron and scroll decoration on one side, surmounted by an oval blazon cut in the middle, with three stars and the monogram JN on the chief and grotesque masks on two other sides. 16th century Length: 21.5 cm - Width: 4.5 cm It seems that this is not really a coat of arms but a typical decoration found on some Renaissance cutlery cases.
