Depicted stone statue of the White Horse of Hanover, 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 Horse of Hanover was introduced into the Royal Arms in 1714 when the crown of Great Britain passed to the Elector George of Hanover. This grandson of Elizabeth, sister of Charles I, became George I, King of Britain, France and Ireland. The shield shows the leopards of England and the lion of Scotland in the first quarter, the fleur-de-lis of France in the second and the Irish harp in the third quarter; the fourth quarter shows the arms of Hanover.
