2) SABLE: Black color that symbolizes Prudence, Sadness, Rigor, Honesty and Obedience.
3) OR (Gold): Nobility, Magnanimity, Wealth, Power, Light, Constancy and Wisdom.
Next lets look at the characteristics of some figures that we can find in heraldry and crests:
* GRIFFIN: The Griffin, half eagle and half lion, is an emblem of Ingenuity and Greatness.
* STAR: The Stars symbolize Constancy in the service to the Sovereign in the jobs of Minister or Counselor.
* FESS: The Fess represents the Noble Heart of the Knight, into which no betrayal or disloyalty can enter.
* BOAR: The Boar symbolizes Dauntless and Boldness.
* SWAN: The Swan, by the tradition that he sings sweetly when he is about to die, means Ancient Nobility, without stain of any kind, who dies courageously executing glorious undertakings.
* CHAIN: The Chain generally means Captivity suffered by the defense of the King or the Homeland.
