Brass Rubbing: William de Bryene

From Bontell:
This is the first example in the present series of brasses in which the effigy of the deceased knight is represented with the head resting on the tilting-helmet with its crest and mantling, as on a pillow. The crest is a bugle-horn on a chapeau. The two shields bear Bryene or Bryan; and the same impaling quarterly, 1 and 4, a lion rampant, 2 and 3, fretty. this brass yet remains quite perfect.
