I split this off of the other thread. Please continue the Golden Fleece discussion here, about both critters that possibly resemble it.
What I wonder, with all respect for Burgundy, is which examples they based their Golden Fleece on. Right now there is a gap in my knowledge of over 1500 years between examples like the one below and the sign of the knightly order in 1430.
