Just a man with two fishes on his arms, hidden in a coat of arms.
And a woman with fishes on her arms, in a coat of arms.
You have to love the coat of arms designs of Europe. The two examples are from the Holy Roman Empire, Swabian nobility.
She is clearly surprised! “What the flying funk is with these fishes?”
“That tickles”. He is kind of enjoying it.
The fish on the image is a barbel.
For about 400 years, the Swabian noble “Mömpelgard” of Württemberg used this coat of arms due to a family connection to the French territory of Montbéliard.
Why they used the fishes as arms? I am too pleased to know!
Also: why is the male figure smiling and the female one looking surprised? What is the backstory with this image?
