Grafting

In heraldry, grafting is a way of uniting coats of arms and / or elements of at least two coats of arms in one image.

At least one field is inserted, i.e. grafted into the main shield at a dividing or cleavage line . The curved tip , for example , which is inserted from the shield base and the neighboring fields only become smaller, but does not omit them, is suitable for this purpose. It is important that the coat of arms images of the main coat of arms are not removed or split.

This grafting is a possibility of the coats of arms union in addition to the entanglement, laying on or the border .
