I think ShaunJ that is Scandia which apparently is an ancient and poetic name for Scandinavia.
You are right bearkat it seems logical that the sign is probably local.
I am wondering now if most,if not all,of these Scindias relate to the Scindias of Gwalior State India.They have ruled the State,and still do.A lot on the web (eg "Jai Vilas Palace).
Green family ,West Hanningfield and Writtle,Essex, 1700-1900,plus other Essex areas and later dates.Collins,Dobbs,Terry,Betts,Hucknall etc,Nottinghamshire.
