Boar (heraldic animal)
In heraldry is boar as a male animal from the kind of wild boar (hunting: wild boar ) a popular emblem .
Blazon and representation
Its application in the coat of arms as a common figure ranges from the full-body representation above the boar's head to the representation of the tusks. They are called the weapons of the beast in real life and also in the heraldic sense. The boar can be found walking to the right or standing upright in the coat of arms. The latter position is called combative . The boar neck bristles are always high standing and how the tusks, other colors tinged . Tongue and claws too. If there is a discrepancy, it must be described, i.e. emblazoned . The basic color of the animal is black. Other colors are possible but not very common. If only the front part is shown in the field (in front or growing boar ), this is used more often. A (looking) boar head placed in the sights must also be reported.
If the boar is used by the coat of arms in connection with his name, then it becomes a talking coat of arms . Example: Eber sberg, Eber sdorf and Eber city.
