Workshop C Full page illustration with the armorial device of the Norsa family by workshop B, (measuring 170-135 mm). Within a large roundel against a landscape background stand two long-haired, bearded wild men with wreaths round their heads and hips. Each one is holding a large club in one hand and supporting a concentric inner medallion containing the Norsa family armorial device framed by a green wreath and outlined in gold. The armorial device of the Norsa family consists of three long-haired white human heads against a gold ground; the top two heads face each other and a third one below faces left, and is divided by a horizontal blue band with two gold stars flanking a silver crescent moon. The roundel is surrounded by dense floral scrolls.
