Form a distinct group of early heraldic charges, and take their names from the families which bear them. Figs. 168 to 172.



The family of Harrlngton also bear a knot called by their name; but this is simply a fret, with the extremities of the saltire couped. 



In addition to those descriptive terms already mentioned, the following are occasionally made use of:—
 * Adumbrated.—Shaded, or under shadow.
 * Baillonnée—A lion rampant, holding in its mouth a staff.
 * Banded.—When anything, such as a garb or a sheaf of arrows, is bound together with a band of a different tincture, it is described as banded of that tincture.
 * Braced.—Interlaced.
