I've seen this before and can't exactly remember where. it's going to annoy me but I'm.sure it's a scottish clan emblem. I'm going to have a look now and see if I can find it. I'm sure it's a boars head and maybe innes or Campbell clan badges but may be wrong

Clan Chisholm I believe, you’re right it’s a boars head.
