Precedents:
From the August 1991 LoAR: "The lantern with its transparent 'glass' is not done in a period manner. As was noted in the commentary, the College has a long history of disallowing transparent objects." (LoAR 8/91 p.22). [[3]] From September 1986 LoAR: Much debate centered on the propriety of using the term "Arabian" for the lamp depicted. As the precedent for using the term has already been set by the well-known badge of Ithra..., there seems no compelling reason to deny the submittor his preferred blazon. (LoAR 27 Sep 86, p. 5) [[4]]
