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

* LOZENGE: The Lozenges symbolize Constancy.

* APPLE: The Apple Tree symbolizes the Watchful Heart.

* CHECKY: The Checky symbolizes Military Art, for which reason it is usually awarded to soldiers who have exposed their lives in combat.

* WINDMILL: The Windmills and their Wheels are a symbol of Obedience, because they face the violence of the current and obey the movement that it prints.

* CABRIO: The Cabrio symbolizes the boots and spurs, and for this reason it was granted as an adornment of the shield to the Knight who was wounded from the combat in his legs.

* CINQUEFOIL: The Cinquefoils symbolize Hope and Joy.

* 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.
