The crest of an ass' head rising out of a ducal coronet is borne by the Chamberlain, Mainwaring, Trussell and Woolridge families, however, a basket, also by Phillips Garden, sold from the collection of Giorgio Marsan and Umberta Nasi, Christie's, London, 13 December 2007, lot 41, was engraved with the arms of Mainwaring impaling Atkins, which suggests the crest is most likely that of Mainwaring.
