- Agate - Agate is a type of semi-precious gemstone that is made up of silica dioxide, a mineral that is also found in quartz. It is known for its distinctive banded patterns, which are created as layers of silica are deposited in different colours including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. It is often used in jewellery, decorative objects, and other decorative items, and it is prized for its beauty and durability. Agate is found in many parts of the world, including Brazil, India, and the United States.
- Prince of Wales Feathers - The triple plumed crest of the Prince of Wales, from the 114th century, showing three ostrich feathers surmounting a crown. The motif was adopted in the 18th and early 19th century in various stylised forms by wood carvers and furniture designers.
