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

* WOLVES: The Wolves are a symbol of a Constant Heart that suffers the calamities of war and siege with generous spirit; but when the time comes to fight in the open field, he fiercely fights, without giving his enemy a barracks.

* HAND: The Hand symbolizes Open Generosity; if it is closed, Strength, and linked with another, Friendship.

* FESS: The Fess represents the Noble Heart of the Knight, into which no betrayal or disloyalty can enter.

* FLEUR-DE-LIS: The Fleur-de-lis represents the Generous Courage that, for received grievances, repeatedly returns benefits, and is a symbol of French heraldry.
