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

* MULBERRY: The Mulberry symbolizes Prudence and Wisdom.
* :
* 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.
* ARROW: The Fess represents Readiness (for battle); if depicted with a cross, represents an affliction.
