escarbuncle

The escarbuncle is a symbol of supremacy and it is an interesting example of a charge developed by the evolution of the shield itself. In ancient warfare iron bands stemming from the center and radiating outwards were used to strengthen the shield for better protection in battle. Over time the pattern made by these bands was adopted as a charge and called in heraldic terms an escarbuncle. However it is also accepted as a representation of a brilliant gem.
