* CHESS: Chess symbolizes Military Art, for which reason it is usually awarded to soldiers who have exposed their lives in combat.

* THISTLE: The Thistle symbolizes in Heraldry a heart nobly humble, but so careful of its honor, that it defends with its sword the luster of its lineage.

* AXE: The Axe symbolizes Death caused to the enemy, and also an ax or wick to illuminate.

* BOAR: The Boar symbolizes Dauntless and Boldness.

* CAULDRON: The Cauldrons along with other vessels: cups, jugs and kettles, which were used to handle victuals, were formerly the Richman brand.
