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

* ROUNDLE: The Roundles symbolize the bucklers that the soldiers carried as a defensive weapon.

* EYE: The Eye is a symbol of Ingenuity and Capacity, if both are painted it symbolizes Vigilance and Care.
