Next we are going to see the meanings of three tinctures:

1) ARGENT (Silver): Purity, Integrity, Obedience, Firmness, Surveillance, Eloquence and Expiration.

2) PURPLE: Justice, Wit, Truth, Greatness, Wisdom and Love; those who wear this color are obliged to defend the Prince defending ecclesiastical people.

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

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

* RIVER: The River symbolizes, due to its condition of increasing its flow as it advances, the Knight who leaves his house with a desire to advance and returns to it enriched with Erudition and Fortune.

* WATER: The Water is a symbol of Enlightened Wisdom, of Virtuous Mood, and can also symbolize domain extension.

* ARROW: The Fess represents Readiness (for battle); if depicted with a cross, represents an affliction.

* 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.

* TROUT: The Trout is a symbol of Ardent Spirit in war and Calm and Serene in Peace.

* ERMINE: The Ermines symbolize Purity and Fidelity placed at the service of the Prince.

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