What is it?

[Levina de Ruijter]

Sorry, no - I already said that the association with Northern Ireland is tenuous. The crest is in England

Then "tenuous" means something else than what I thought it meant.

Crunch time; this is my original photo of the crest of Muncaster Castle on a gate in NW England

Very similar images can be found here and here

Muncaster Castle's crest with a red hand comes from the ancient Pennington family, who were granted the land after a knight was wounded fighting for King Henry VI (1422 to 1461 and 1470 to 1471,) when he was given shelter at Muncaster. In gratitude, the King allegedly granted the knight his own crest, a red hand, which the Pennington family adopted.

As you, Levina, got the coat of Arms correct, I am handing the torch to you.

Okay! Thanks, Martin.

I never found anything else but Tyrone and Ulster. So I gave up. I'll go look for the next whatsit. Be back in a few minutes.

Well, that was quick…

It's a very tiny bird cage that I photographed in the Rijksmuseum years ago.

Over to you, Martin.

Is it made of wood?

I don't know. Furthermore, Google AI could not answer your question. My guess is that it is painted wood.

 

[Levina de Ruijter]

Martin, is this part of a large structure?

 

[Stiga]

Yes, it is.
