I believe this image comes from http://www.stcatz.ox.ac.uk/. As an image of a coat of arms it qualifies for Fair Use if it is used to represent the institution to which it belongs (St Catherine's College, Oxford) and to illustrate its historic coat of arms. Copyright in this specific representation resides in the college. --Ed hazell 23:19, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
