Colorful

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Buntfeh is a variant of the Eisenhütlein in heraldry .

The specialty to the other heraldic fur works is the number of colors used. Buntfeh is represented with three, but also with four heraldic tinctures . Depending on the color, these preferably include silver, red, blue, black and gold. The occurrence in the coat of arms is widespread in England . The color of the series begins with the description of the coat of arms . The metals silver and gold are always separated by color or the colors are separated by a metal. A pile-wise arrangement of the tinctures, as is the case with the pile-up variant with blue and silver, is avoided.
