Family coat of arms
The family coat of arms is the coat of arms that a gender led when it first appeared. In later times, arbitrarily accepted or lent coats of arms were added to the family coat of arms. Example coat of arms of the Counts of Cilli : Sanneck family coat of arms, Heunburg coat of arms awarded . The family coat of arms was always laid out as a full coat of arms. For special purposes, the magnificent pieces and the upper coat of arms were omitted and formed the so-called small coat of arms. This little coat of arms adorned furniture, dishes and other objects of everyday life.
