Quiver (heraldry)
The quiver , as a container for the arrows , is a common figure in heraldry .
The representation in the coat of arms or field can be a rifle s hanging container or in the coat of arms just a "basket" with arrows. The coloring is possible with all heraldic colors , but inserted arrows should be different in color from the quiver . Bundles of arrows or the number and position of the arrows (point up or down) must be reported. The heraldic figure is also occasionally with the archer or the bow (weapon) in the shield . The quiver is also shown in the upper coat of arms . Arrows are not always in the quiver. Strictly speaking, in heraldry, this is a spring frame. Ostrich or heron and peacock feathers or other things can be in it, but must always be mentioned in the description of the coat of arms .
The place name of Tülau is borrowed from the Old Slavic tulû, for example, and means quiver, which is also split into green and gold in the coat of arms with three arrows in confused colors .
