Graft cut
The graft cut is a heraldic image in heraldry and allows a simple coat of arms cut division.
A semicircle section in the direction of the main shield is shown in the middle of the dividing line . The color is the same as that of the field below . The element "graft" gives the name for the possible varieties. If there are two or three semicircular cutouts on the dividing line, it becomes a double or a triple plug. A larger number of the element is no longer counted and a plug division must then be described.
A post with an incision on both sides towards the edge of the shield (bulge) at the same height is blown as a graft post. The beam becomes a graft or knot beam .
If the pinnacles are each provided with such a semicircular elevation in the case of a pinnacle section, it is a graft pewter division.
If the ends of the cross arms are provided with these hemispheres, the cross becomes a grafted cross; primarily the common cross is changed.
The counterpart of this herald's picture is the yoke cut.
