* PEACOCK: The Peacock, by its head denotes Prudence; for his chest, of gold and sapphire, Loyalty, Fidelity and Zeal; in the hidden and submissive of his steps, Secret, and in the terribly out of tune voice of his singing, Terror of enemies.

* CRESCENT: The Crescent, of oriental origin, symbolizes Victory against the darkness of slander, and Emulations against inconstancy and fickleness.

* STAG: The Stag symbolizes Effortless Courage, which draws and recovers energy even on the most adverse occasions.
