Detail from Drake Mural, Grace Cathedral, San Francisco,
California.
A page, perhaps Drake's nephew, is shown holding his shield. The arms
depicted, Quarterly 1 & 4, Argent a wyvern Gules, and 2 & 3 Sable a Fess wavy
between two Estoiles Argent were the arms as Drake actually bore them. The
image is anachronistic, however, since the new coat in quarters 2 and 3 was not
granted until 1581--after Sir Francis returned to England.
