Crashed

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Overturned is a technical term in heraldry that is used for a special form of representation of heraldic images and heraldic figures in the coat of arms .

A herald image / coat of arms figure is described as overturned with the heraldic made-up word if it is turned 180 degrees, upside down. Other terms for the same suggestion are downward or downward facing or just overturned figure . Whether in the description of the coat of arms is emblazoned with overthrown depends on the functionality and style. Especially if there are other names for the new location (Göpel-Deichsel). With humans and heraldic animals a fallen representation occurs less often. The most common use of the term is:

  • The fallen coat of arms or the fallen shield are supposed to indicate the extinct male tribe.
  • The overturned drawbar is in the shield as a coat of arms figure of a Göpel . As a division it becomes the Göpel cut .
  • A fallen Göpel is a drawbar in the shield as a heraldic figure. As a division, it becomes the drawbar cut.
  • A fallen crescent points with the tips to the base of the shield .
  • The fallen Latin cross becomes the symbol of Simon Peter as the cross of Peter .

Many heraldic figures are suitable for upside down representation, but only appear sporadically in coats of arms. It is worth noting the rafter , top, and fallen flight .
