@caitlinrgreen Little one looks like a raven. Too late for Odin? Plus all those Southern softies christian then?
@nocylad Hah! Aq=Aquila, eagle, plus has book in claw, so Eagle of St John :)
@caitlinrgreen @nocylad Also, curved beak. Ravens always shown with straight beak.
@caitlinrgreen @DrJaninaRamirez do come to #Winchester HODs if you can. @HantsCulture have some fabulous finds in their collection.
