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

* CHAIN: The Chain generally means Captivity suffered by the defense of the King or the Homeland.

* FOUNTAIN: The Fountain is a symbol of Philanthropy and Splendidity.

* 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.

* MALLET: The Mallet indicates War for the damage that it can cause to armor.

* FIG: The Fig Tree or its leaves symbolize the State Benefactors.

* STAG: The Stag symbolizes Effortless Courage, which draws and recovers energy even on the most adverse occasions.

* 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.
