inescutcheon

Gu., an inescutcheon having a nail fixed in every point thereof in triangle, between as many holly leaves, all arg.

In the last-named plate an inescutcheon bears four important dates in the history of the state of Maine.

When one Inescutcheon is borne, it is usually placed on the fesse-point; but several Inescutcheons may appear in one composition.

The difference may be noted between this figure and the next (Fig. 227), which shows an inescutcheon within a bordure.
