@ KC a rubbery substance should not weigh 50 lbs it makes me wonder if the word rubbery was used because it was maybe bent easily??? So maybe pewter, the texture on the back leads me to believe it is some type of metal
The translation that I gave previously is in French but it most likely is Latin and could very possibly be a Family Crest.
Research the Crown as it is not the same as the royal coat
The "Helm" is what looks to be a scroll and the symbol, these are above the crest
The "Crest" is exactly as the Royal coat except the Fluer de lis Yes it is a symbol of Scotland but it not situated correctly on the crest
Then there is no "Compartment" which is usually a flower type thing that the Supporters (Lion and Unicorn) would rest on instead they are resting on the Motto ribbon.
With the thought of it being a Family Crest it would take a ton of work to put all of the Elements together to figure out who but I would first start by having the Latin translated which could easily be done at a local College.

This thing will make an awesome outdoor "snuggle" sofa!
