Spickelsturzfeh

The Spickelsturzfeh is a special form of the furry Feh in heraldry , but in the actual sense it is only a Spickelung and not a Feh in the heraldic sense. Nevertheless, the color image is counted among the heraldic fur. So it's a tincture .

A division in several rows of an appropriate height is shown in the heraldic shield or field . These are then lined up with triangles with the tip pointing to the base of the shield , and tinged differently to the ground. The triangles pointing downwards are smaller than those pointing upwards. The reason is that the "hanging ones" with the tip do not reach the cutting line. It is important that each row has the same two-tone tincture.
