Symbol on family bible
Hello, first time post.
I have a bible that belonged from my mom’s side of the family since the 1860’s. It’s a beautiful bible, very heavy. For some reason I cannot find the publishing date again, but seeing that it was my great, great, great Grandpa Joseph Chandler that had this, it has to be around the time to early 20th century. I’ll gladly post more pictures of it if interest demands, but mainly asking for help finding out about a symbol I found on one of the pages. I had a single parent upbringing, and I’ve always felt like I was missing a lot about who I am. Well, diving into the side of my family I have, finding this was fairly unique amongst other family heirlooms.
There are a lot of beautiful artistic depictions that were clearly printed originally into the book, but this symbol was hand drawn. It’s separate from the art and text within, totally different style and a little out place. I had been flipping carefully through pages, finding hair, flowers, seeds, leaves and other things when I stumbled upon the drawing. It looks to have been hand drawn in one go.
What I do know is my family from this side is Scot/Irish, & English.
There was 1 restoration by my uncle in 1994, to restore binding and perhaps clean it up. I have the receipt from my uncle getting this complete and will locate it.
Any support figuring out what this symbol means, if possible, would be awesome. I have tried to reverse search through google images and nothing came close to this. It could be a rune or code, or just an original sketch my forefathers.
Thank you for your time and support, excited to see what comes of it.
