Founders Hall - Cloth Fair, Coade coat of arms

Inscription

{On the bronze plaque to the right:}
This Coade Stone representation of The Founders Company's coat of arms made in 1800 and lost in the 19th Century, was acquired by the below named and gifted to The Company to mark their respective years as Master:
A. J. Gillett 2013
P. A. Draycott 2014
J. L. D. Butterworth 2015

{Stamped on the stone, low at the left:}
Coade & Sealy

{Stamped on the stone, low at the right:}
Lambeth 1800

The coat of arms is supported by cannons and what must be cannonballs (despite appearing to have finger holes like those used in ten-pin bowling) - though we would have thought these objects were beneath the expertise of the Founders Company.  Above the crest is a fire in which a crucible has been placed.  Lambeth is the site of the Coade factory.

This object can be seen in 3D at Sketchfab.
