Three pans in the coat of arms of the Spanish municipality of Padilla de Abajo
The pan is a rare common figure in heraldry . It is heraldically simple and can be of any color. Only the description of the coat of arms determines the pan precisely, because there is a separate shape for each area of application. (e.g .: salt pan ) In general, however, it is about the kitchen utensil.
The coat of arms figure is suitable for a talking coat of arms of the families called pan.
