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

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

* BOAR: The Boar symbolizes Dauntless and Boldness.

* MULBERRY: The Mulberry symbolizes Prudence and Wisdom.

* DRAGON: The Dragon symbolizes the most exquisite Care and Vigilance.

* KNIGHT: The Knight symbolizes the Nobility.

* CROWN: The Crown is a symbol of Royal or Seigniorial Authority and Dignity or Honorary Badge.

* 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.
