* EYE: The Eye is a symbol of Ingenuity and Capacity, if both are painted it symbolizes Vigilance and Care.
* WOLVES: The Wolves are a symbol of a Constant Heart that suffers the calamities of war and siege with generous spirit; but when the time comes to fight in the open field, he fiercely fights, without giving his enemy a barracks.
