Fiore Badges of the Art of Defense
Taken from the The "sette spade" diagram from the Pisani facsimile (fol. 17A). (ca. 1350s - 1420s).
The tiger holding an arrow represents celeritas or celerity (speed)
"I am the tiger, I am very quick to run and turn / That the arrow in the sky cannot approach me."
