- Lot Description
Europe, England, ca. 1605 CE. A beautifully inscribed parchment bearing 20 lines of Latin court hand script and topped with the portrait of King James I of England (also known as King James VI of Scotland) in the upper left corner and his coat of arms in the upper left of center. Surrounded by swirling phytomorphic design forming the letter J, the diademed monarch sits upon a throne adorned with a vegetal motif as he wears a fur-lined regal cape and holds an upward pointing sword in his right hand and a globus cruciger in his left, likely referencing his position as head of church and state. The embellished J serves as the first word of the document, which is "Jacobus", or James in Latin, while a lovely crest featuring a Tudor rose, Scottish thistle, and fleur de lis of France, all crowned, sprouts atop the letter b. Right of the king, is the embellished word "Omnibus", meaning "all", presenting with King James I's coat of arms inside the letter O. Size without frame: 17.75" W x 13.625" H (45.1 cm x 34.6 cm); Size with frame: 26" W x 18" H (66 cm x 45.7 cm)
Similar to the crest, the coat of arms also displays symbols from several countries, such as the lions passant guardant for England, the fleur di lis for France, a lion statant guardant for Scotland, and a harp for Ireland, all topped by the imperial crown. These rich iconographic programs are indicative of King James I role in unifying Scotland and England.
Provenance: ex Estate of Eldert Bontekoe, Pegasi Numismatics, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, acquired before 2000
