Next lets look at the characteristics of some figures that we can find in heraldry and crests:

* 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.

* PORCUPINE: The Porcupine is a symbol of Strength against danger, because it closes in on itself and defends itself with its own weapons (quills).

* WALL: The Wall represents the Noble Heart of the Knight, in which no betrayal or disloyalty can enter.
