Coat of arms of Cardinal Scipione Borghese (1579-1633)
One of a pair of similar bronze escrutcheons, the shield in each bearing the Arms of the Borghase family: a crowned eagle with outspread wings, above a griffin. The shield incorporates at the top a man's head, and above this a cross, which appears under a Cardinal's hat. Each side is supported by a nude winged cherub.
