Based on the provided vintage engraved image, this crest badge represents Clan Glas, a Scottish clan or family. The overall structure, featuring a garter surrounding a central crest, identifies it as a traditional Scottish crest badge, designed to be worn by clan followers to signify allegiance and unity.

The central figure is a detailed depiction of a mermaid (sometimes blazoned as a Melusine or Siren) rising from a heraldic crest wreath. She holds the traditional symbols of a circular mirror and a comb, which in heraldry frequently symbolize allure, beauty, and eloquence. Enclosing her is the garter belt, adorned with a large buckle and studs, representing the binding commitment of the clan members to their chief.

The most defining feature is the Latin motto on the upper scroll: "Luctor Non Mergor." This translates directly to "I struggle, I do not sink" (or "I fight, but am not submerged"). It is a statement of defiance, resilience, and endurance. It signifies that despite facing immense adversity, stormy challenges, or powerful "waves" of difficulty, the clan will fight and persist without being drowned or overcome. Below, the base scroll identifies the bearers as Clan Glas, uniting them under this powerful badge of strength and persistence.
