Cork Family Crest?

[dognose]

Hi,

Can anyone cast any light on this engraved crest?




It appears on a Cork made pickle fork of around c.1815.

Any thoughts appreciated.

A couple of possibilities:



Pearson



Gilpin

Pearson is perhaps the more likely of the pair, as held in the hand is a 'rose branch', whereas Gilpin is a 'laurel sprig'.

I've been stymied by the flower. An arm in armor embowed is common, and the botanical choices were vast. I looked for rose, gillyflower, columbine, violet etc, and the many combinations of- in the hand, in the gauntlet, holding, grasping etc. Well done!
