Nice job.
Upper class gents like the Medontidae clan if married to a lady of status were displaying elements of their family tree on the shield.
The Medontidae had right to use purple (nice choice) because they were coming from royal linage. They were big-shots in the Ionic and Carian colonies. In the Carian coast colonies contacted Rhodian colonists who were Doreans. The Key pattern fits if the gent carrying was related to a Rhodian lady of the Dymanes Doric clan.
Kind regards
