pine cone ? Explanation: I agree, more context is definitely needed, but is it possible it could really refer to pine cones? Pine cones are often used in heraldry (crests, coats of arms) and as a decorative motif. Apart from flowers, fruit are also relatively common in heraldry. Apples, oranges, pears, grapes etc all appear in heraldry. But don't be confused if you see the word pineapple in heraldry - this really is referring to a pine-cone, not the pineapple that we think of today, which is obviously a tropical fruit. (http://www.sca.org.au/lochac/scribes/hrld_10.html) El MONASTERIO DE SANTO DOMINGO fue fundado por el rey Enrique III de Castilla y por su esposa Catalina de Lancaster en la transición de los siglos XIV al XV. Los capiteles románicos del claustro contienen una sorprendente iconografía ilustrativa de la vida rural de la época: labradores de azada y arado romano, leñadores, pero también cabezas de cuyas bocas surgen sarmientos hojas, piñas, o leones y centauros... (http://personal.redestb.es/cauca/alreded.htm) . Los más abundantes son lo capiteles con motivos vegetales: capiteles con bolas o piñas que surgen de grandes hojas más o menos estilizadas completadas por volutas en la parte superior; capiteles con tallos sinuosos que cobijan hojas, y capiteles con hojas de acanto (http://www.fromista.com/paginas/3_arte.htm) CREST: Out of a Coronet composed of eight Pine Cones set upon a Rim Or a Mount Vert thereon a Griffin passant Gold the beak and forelegs Azure and ducally gorged of the last holding in the dexter claw a Hammer erect proper (http://www.civicheraldry.co.uk/surrey_ob.html) Just a thought. as noted |
