2) ARGENT (Silver): Purity, Integrity, Obedience, Firmness, Surveillance, Eloquence and Expiration.

3) AZURE: Blue color that symbolizes Justice, Zeal, Truth, Loyalty, Charity and Beauty.

* ARROW: The Fess represents Readiness (for battle); if depicted with a cross, represents an affliction.

* PANELA: The Panelas are figures similar to a heart and are a symbol of Vigilant Vassal.

* PELICAN: The Pelican is a symbol of the Charitable and Pious Lord towards his vassals.

* CYPRESS: The Cypress symbolizes Elevated and Incorruptible Thoughts.
