In the Gniezno cathedral there is a metal font from 1448 with six coloured coats-of-arms of Polish knightly families. They are arranged in two groups of three arms. In spite of considerable damages of the polychromy they can be identified, though partly hypothetically only. There are the following arms on the font: Roch (?) Zareba Jelita, Odrowaz lub Ogon (?) Jastrzebiec Kopacz. The order of 'reading' the arms is: 2, 1, 3 and 5, 4, 6. The Zaremba arms belonged to the founder of the font, Jan of Brzostków, a canon of Gniezno. Those on its sides (2, 3) may have belonged to persons from his family. The other group of arms (4, 5, 6) should be connected with members of the Gniezno chapter.

The article deals with a monogram of Henry Kietlicz, archbishop of Gniezno (1199-1219). It is known only from the rota on a document of Henry the Bearded of 1208. In literature the monogram was rendered as hEnRIC(US) but the present article shows a possibbility of a different reading, namely PETRC(US). The monogram PETRC(US) may have been inspired by the monogram PETRUS, known from the iconography of St. Peter. This PETRC(US) monogram and other symbols used by the archibishop may indicate that Henry Kietlicz was forming his own image imitating that of the pope (imitatio papae).
