1) SABLE: Black color that symbolizes Prudence, Sadness, Rigor, Honesty and Obedience.
2) GULES: Red color that symbolizes Strength, Victory, Daring and Highness.
3) OR (Gold): Nobility, Magnanimity, Wealth, Power, Light, Constancy and Wisdom.

* SHELL: The Shell symbolizes the Knight who marches to the borders of his states to widen them by fighting; it is also a symbol of Pilgrim.
* LOZENGE: The Lozenges symbolize Constancy.
* 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.
