Device or Coat of Arms?

OK, two other things I have just noticed. The boar has vertical hatching which, in heraldry, means 'Gules' or red. The martlet is on a banner which is spotted which means 'Or' or gold/yellow. So we have a red boar with a yellow banner over its back and a martlet on the banner.......(and, no, I know very little about heraldry, but I do have a book ;))

Well done Ann, I knew colours were significant but didn't know how to decipher them in a non-coloured image !! :D :cool:

Definitely has a pointy end, which makes it a cross crosslet fitchee as Libby said :)

Must say all this stuff is very confusing :confused: -- each apparently tiny detail seems to mean something

Heraldry is a world all of its own - I think it's one of those subjects which you really need to understand for it to make any sort of sense o_O
