BLAZONING is the heraldic language. To
blazon a coat of arms is to describe the coat of arms: first of what
color it is, i.e. the field (background) and secondly the bearings,
all in their proper order and respective shapes, positions and
tinctures.No unnecessary words
are used and the name of a tincture is not repeated. The tincture of
a charge follows the name of the charge, e.g. "a cross silver", not
"a silver cross". When several charges are named in succession, they
are all of the tincture given after the last, unless otherwise
specified.
Sample:
Azure five lozenges conjoined in fess
or, each charged with an escallop gules, on a chief of the second, a
griffin's head erased between two fleur-de-lis of the first.
