Everyone loves the ornate. Or they should, anyways. It is, at the moment, very much in style.
My first thought, given such an inspiration and such restrictions, would be to take that same shape--the round shield--and make it very large, to hang suspended in the entrance hall. More daring than a statue, more catching to the eye. And upon its surface, there would be gilded some design that is in the spirit of the Inquisition's sigil--not the sigil itself, I am not very fond of that marking. It lacks true beauty. But an artist, with the gifts of an artist, could use its features to create something new and... what would the word be? Abstract, perhaps. A design that brings to mind that of the Inquisition's sigil, without being the sigil.
