Alternate Views and Miscellaneous Notes - Royal Footstools, Meridies

Here is a collection of alternate views of the royal footstools, together with some commentary that didn't seem to fit very well in any of the other sections. Move your mouse pointer across the face of the stool to access the different images.  For example in this view we get a clearer view of the rose-blossoms that make up the "chaplet of roses counterchanged" called for in the device of the Queen of Meridies.  It is worthy of note that in most depictions of heraldic roses, the center and petals can usually be defined.  After much discussion and several disappointing test runs, we determined that inlaying the actual petals would take more time than we had available.  We therefore decided to depict the chaplet in silhouette.
