* HAND: The Hand symbolizes Open Generosity; if it is closed, Strength, and linked with another, Friendship.

* WOLF: The Wolf is 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.
