Party per fess Or and Gules dancetty of three full points and two half upwards.

Escudo cortado, encajado de tres piezas enteras y dos medias.

[Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 79], on the appropriate dimensions for outlining an indented shield, he explains that «encaxadas» or «emanchadas» refers to «the partitions of the shield, whose pieces fit into each other in the shape of thick and long triangles, which are regularly one-third of the length», that is, of the width of the shield for parted shields, «or of the height of the shield», that is, the height for fess shields, as in this example, «depending on the direction in which these figures are placed in the parted, fess, bend, and cut shields, etc. but being a Chief, they have half the base and the rest as point; and if it were a Fess, it is formed of alternating triangles, which fill it completely».

[Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 80], on which of the two components of an indented shield acts as the field and which as the piece, he clarifies that «the field of the partition is understood as the one occupying the upper part of the shield, with the lower part at the base considered the piece».

[Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 80], on how the blazon of an indented shield should be drafted, he establishes that «the number of whole and half triangles must be specified when there is more than one, and likewise, the direction in which the partitions are in the parted, fess, etc.», illustrating it with 2 examples that can also be seen in [Avilés, J.; 1725a; plate 8, illustrations 157 and 158].

Or semé of millrinds Azure, a chief dancetty of two full points upwards Purpure pierced twice of the field billetwise throughout.

Arms emblazoned by me, in flat tinctures, outlined in Sable, with a pointed external shape and with a texturized finishing.

The coat of arms of Baz Manning, John Basil Edward, emblazoned by me. When it is «voided»~«hueco» the hole matches the shape of the piece or figure, and when it is «pierced»~«perforado» the hole has a different shape, usually circular, but in this case, it is rectangular, like a billet. In both cases, the field, in this case, semé, is visible through the hole, so it would not be necessary to specify this unless the hole is of another tincture, in which case it must be specified. When it is also «throughout»~«moviente» that means that the hole touches the borders, generally all, in this case only the upper and lower border.

Arms depicted by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with a semi-circular outer contour and with a freehand finish.

G0129, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta's grant of the coat of arms of Markus Hermann Frank, USA. This coat of arms has been emblazoned by me.

Design rationale

The coat of arms of Markus Hermann Frank features a Franconian Rake, a heraldic reference to his surname, making this a case of canting arms. The Franconian Rake is the historical emblem of the Franconia region in Germany, traditionally blazoned as per fess dancetty of three points Gules and Argent. He is a Medical Doctor and an Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School, which is reflected in the two fleams, surgical instruments historically used in medicine.
