Depicted stone statue of The White Greyhound of Richmond, one of ten heraldic beasts known as the "Queen's Beasts", you can find on the Palm House Terrace in Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew.
The White Greyhound was a badge of John of Gaunt, Earl of Richmond, son of Edward III, but was also used by Henry IV and especially by Henry VII. The Tudor double rose can be seen on the shield, one rose within another, surmounted by a crown, symbolising the union of the Houses of York and Lancaster.
