The seal and the coat of arms are two different things.  The coat-of-arms
is already shown
on your web page.

I will send a copy of Henry Sinclair's seal which I found at the
Riksarkivet in Copenhagen
The Chief Archivist was kind enough to arrange to have a mould made so that
I could have 
a replica of the seal.  This is now at the Sinclair Centre at Noss Head in
Caithness.
Henry's seal like his coat-of-arms is full of symbolism.  It tells its own
story just as Henry's
coat-of-arms spells out its own message for those who have the eyes to
interpret its design.
Bill Buehler is the best qualified to explain this to us.
