This seal of brass very finely cut, belongs to Henrietta Maria, daughter of the Great Henry IV. of France, and wife to our Charles I. The arms are England, France, and Navarre, borne separately in a lozenge, with the words Henretta Maria, dei gratiae Angliae, Scotiae, Fravnciae, et Hiberniae, Reginae round it. The supporters of the arms are, the Lion of England and the St. Michael powdered with fleurs de lis. On the reverse, the queen at full length, under a canopy, crowned and in royal robes, with the scepter in her right hand, and the globe in her left; the arms of England on her right side and of France without Navarre, on her left; both crowned with Imperial crowns, and the same inscription round the whole.
