This artwork depicts the heraldic shield of Jacob of Luxemburg, Lord of Fiennes, who was a knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece. It was painted by Pierre Coustain around 1481. The shield itself is divided into four quarters, displaying a red lion, a starburst pattern, and a golden ram crest, all against a dark background. The shield is encircled by the Golden Fleece collar, a symbol of honor and chivalry.
