Eagle catch

The eagle catch is a common figure in heraldry . A foot is represented with claws of a crest eagle , mostly in abstechender tincture . Often feathers are shown on the muzzle. The claw on a wing is particularly popular. This should be mentioned in the description of whether the wing points to the right or left with the Saxons . The depiction of the eagle catch in the coat of arms is also suitable for holding objects, especially weapons such as arrows.
