Elizabeth, of two E's adossés connected by two entwined annulets, is also blue, and shows out conspicuously from the rest; two of these monograms occur on all the principal portions of the suit; on each side of the vertical band are etched and gilt emblems of the Tudor family, two open cinquefoil roses with a fleur-de-lis between connected by true lovers' knots. A recessed and gilt border of roses inclosed in annulets runs round the top and bottom of each piece, and narrow vertical stripes of etched and gilded scrolls divide the patterns; in these borders are the rivets, with latten heads, which secured the linings in position. A comparison of the details of this suit with those of the Henry, Prince of Wales suit at Windsor Castle (Vol. V, Chap. xxxvii, Fig. 1435) reveals the fact that the pattern of the interlaced strapwork and of the gilt scrollwork is identical, the only variation being the monograms and the introduction of the thistle of Scotland to mark King James I's accession.
