2) AZURE: Blue color that symbolizes Justice, Zeal, Truth, Loyalty, Charity and Beauty.

3) SABLE: Black color that symbolizes Prudence, Sadness, Rigor, Honesty and Obedience.

* PANELA: The Panelas are figures similar to a heart and are a symbol of Vigilant Vassal.

* GRAPE: The Grapes symbolizes Liberality, felicity, and peace; also, association with wine-making.

* CROSS: The Cross symbolizes the sword of the Knights, to whom this piece was granted when they returned from combat with their sword dyed in enemy blood. The Cross was also taken as a teaching by most of the Crusaders.

* HAWK: The Hawk symbolizes Noble and Strong chest in companies of honor, which fails to achieve them faints of shame.

* FESS: The Fess represents the Noble Heart of the Knight, into which no betrayal or disloyalty can enter.

* CASTLE: The Castle, due to the superiority of its strength over other buildings, denotes Greatness and Power, used to defend friends and allies, resisting the enemy invincibly.

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