1) OR (Gold): Nobility, Magnanimity, Wealth, Power, Light, Constancy and Wisdom.
2) GULES: Red color that symbolizes Strength, Victory, Daring and Highness.
3) ARGENT (Silver): Purity, Integrity, Obedience, Firmness, Surveillance, Eloquence and Expiration.

* TOWER: The Tower represents the Generosity with which the Knight offers himself at the service of his Country and his King.
* THISTLE: The Thistle symbolizes in Heraldry a heart nobly humble, but so careful of its honor, that it defends with its sword the luster of its lineage.
* CRICKET: The Cricket is a symbol of the Irresolute and Inconstant Lover.
* LIZARD: The Lizard is a symbol of Fidelity and Hobby, for which it shows the man.
* RABBIT: The Rabbit symbolizes Love of letters or One who enjoys a peaceable and retired life.
* WATER: The Water is a symbol of Enlightened Wisdom, of Virtuous Mood, and can also symbolize domain extension.
* PARROT: The Parrot is a symbol of a Noble Knight, who looks with pleasure at the enamels on his shield, with the intention of not only preserving them, but adding new stamps with his own deeds and is also a symbol of Eloquence and Docility.
