* LIZARD: The Lizard is a symbol of Fidelity and Hobby, for which it shows the man.

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

* LOZENGE: The Lozenges symbolize Constancy.

* CHEVRON: The Chevron 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.

* PEACOCK: The Peacock, by its head denotes Prudence; for his chest, of gold and sapphire, Loyalty, Fidelity and Zeal; in the hidden and submissive of his steps, Secret, and in the terribly out of tune voice of his singing, Terror of enemies.

* LION: The Lion symbolizes the Generously Warrior Spirit, adorned with the qualities of Vigilance, Dominion, Sovereignty, Majesty and Bravery.
