The arms on the left appear to be those of the Alexander family? But which branch?!

Per pale Argent and Sable a chevron and in base a crescent all counterchanged.

When rendered in black-and-white, black is shown by cross-hatching; red by vertical hatching.

Thank you all so much for all your messages! I am amazed at the knowledge on this website! I managed to get a couple more photos so hopefully this will help! The three creatures look like dragon heads...

Gryphons lower jaw turns upwards. The lions have a straight lower jaw facing down to the left.
