buckle

The buckle signifies self-defense and protection, as well as victorious fidelity in authority. The buckle appears quite often in heraldry, sometimes oval shaped, circular or square; they are most often shaped like a heraldic lozenge, though, or a diamond with sides of equal length, especially in the armory of the continent. A buckle occurs in the arms of the Prussian Counts of Wallenrodt, and it is used as a badge by the Earls of Yarborough and Chichester.
