Would someone know what this symbol is? This family crest appears as one of the 16 crests which made up the combined arms which were used by the Bolles family of Haugh, Lincolnshire. I have identified the other 15 crests but I cannot figure out what this one is.
In the attachment the first example is from the tomb of Richard Bolles of Haugh (d. 1592) in St Botolph's Church in Boston, Lincolnshire. A description of the crest by an author in 1834 states these are "3 maces" but the author of The History and Antiquities of Boston (1856) uses the text from 1834 for the other 15 crests but for this one it only has "3 * * *".
The next two are as used by Sir John Bolles of Scampton (d. 1647) and from a history of the Bolles family. This one appears to be a mace on a wreath but it would be hard to describe the first image that way.
The last example is an impression in wax from Sir John Bolles' thumb ring. This shows a much more ornate symbol but there does seem to be a wreath and a mace in there.
Robson's 'The British Herald' (1830) does not seem to have any combination like this.
Any suggestions?
