10: Giovanna Elisabetta Cellini -
Resub Device
Purpure, on a pile between two lions
Or, a cross bottony purpure

The blazon and emblazon do not match
for the following reasons: The lion is rampant in attitude by default,
these appear to be almost salient, or at least somewhere between
salient and rampant, a small matter. These lions are combatant, and no
such posture is indicated. Is this a default position when
dealing with two lions?
