This is an antique bronze ashtray featuring the British Royal Coat of Arms
Material: Solid Bronze
British Royal Coat of Arms is the raised feature on this leaf or shell shaped ashtray with two bronze legs on the bottom for stability.
The Royal Coat of Arms reads: DIEU ET MON DROIT, and features a lion and a unicorn.DIEU ET MON DROIT translates to "God and my right." It was adopted as the royal motto of England by Henry V (1386-1422).
"It was not unusual for the royal coat of arms of theKingdom of Englandto have a French rather than English motto, given thatNorman Frenchwas the primary language of the EnglishRoyal Courtand ruling class following the rule ofWilliam the Conquerorof Normandy and later thePlantagenets. AnotherOld Frenchphrase also appears in the full achievement of the Royal Arms: the motto of theOrder of the Garter,Honi soit qui mal y pense("Shamed be the one who thinks ill of it"), appears on a representation of agarterbehind the shield. Modern French spelling has changedhonitohonni, but the motto has not been updated." -- Wikipedia

Condition: Very good, has some darkened areas from ash residue. It also has been cleaned at sometime in it's 116 years as there are traces of the cleaner used in the indentations. See photos.
