"This device [sic - sometimes there is a proofreading fail] is returned for lack of identifiability of the horse's skull. The examples of non-human skulls in period armory are limited, and have distinguishing features (such as the horns of the bull found in the arms of Capo di Vacca in the Insignia nobilium Patavinorum, BSB Cod.icon. 275:23v) that aid in identifiability. They are also affronty. With two exceptions, both registered prior to 1990, skulls in SCA armory are likewise distinguished by either horns/antlers or, in the sole example of an elephant's skull, tusks. This last example had tusks that were as tall as the skull itself and spanned the width of the device, to make up for the lack of identifying trunk of the elephant.

Without these distinctive identifying features, it becomes difficult to identify the animal whose skull is being displayed, and indeed there is little to differentiate the skull of a horse from one from another ungulate, such as a pig.

Absent documentation of animal skulls being depicted in profile in period armory, and absent documentation of animal skulls lacking distinctive characteristics that aid in immediate identification, either practice will be grounds for return."

Vakr is a masculine given name in Geirr Bassi.

Kameroskous is a family name that's Lithuanian in origin (but not the submitter's legal name). If that name could be shown to be period and compatible with Vakr, the submitter would like that family name.

ffride says "Lietuvių pavardžių žodynas [Dictionary of Lithuanian Surnames] http://pavardes.lki.lt/ has Kamarauskas, which it associates with Polish Komorowski (which shouldn't be a surprise, because -auskas is what -owski became when it was Lithuanianised.

I can find examples of Komorowski in the territory Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, just not spelled like it would be in Lithuanian today, because the people writing things down in Ruthenian and Polish (particularly for -owski/-auskas bynames) had a tendency to "transpose" the names they recognised into their preferred language. Eg. in Powiat Winnicki (Vinnytsia county), today in central Ukraine: Stanisław Komorowski, 1569

From: Aleksander Jabłonowski. 1894. Polska XVI wieku pod względem geograficzno-statystycznym. Tom IX. Ziemie ruskie : Ukraina (Kijów-Bracław) (Gebethner, Warszaw) p. 102 https://oscar.sca.org/s.php?u=4015 [ www.google.com.au ]
