of whatever tincture it may be. The sword has the various names of scimitar, seax, falchion,[1] &c., according to its form.
Tilting spear.—It is sufficient to blazon this weapon as a spear. Fig. 164. When a simple spear is intended, it must be described as a javelin.
Trellis.—Differs from the fret, inasmuch as the pieces are not interlaced, but are carried throughout, and nailed at the points of contact. Fig. 165.
Turret.—A smsll tower commonly set upon a castle, as shown at Fig. 148.
Water-bouget.—Was formerly used by soldiers for carrying water. It is represented either as at Fig. 166 or, Fig. 167. The latter is the more general form.
Winnowing-basket. See Fan.
Besides these may be enumerated the Horse-shoe, Plough, Harrow, Trumpet, Pen, Comb, Key, &c.; but, as their fore is so familiar, it would be superfluous to give illustrations.
- ↑ The seax is a scimitar with a semicircular notch cut at the back. For illustration of falchion see crest of Fig. 189.
