Ermine

[ Ermine ], [ Erminois ] and [ Argent erminois Azure ].

[ Escudo de armiños ], [ Escudo armiñado ] y [ Escudo de plata armiñado de azur ].

Three coats of arms with a semicircular base and a freehand finish.

ermine: A fur that represents a mantle made from the tails of those animals. Like every fur, it combines a metal, Argent, with a color, Sable. On the Argent background, small tail tips of these animals in Sable are depicted. There are multiple ways to paint these Sable tips, the most common being a shape resembling an arrow pointing toward the chief, with three small dots at its end.

In Castilian, some refer to it in the singular «armiño» but, following [Académie internationale d'héraldique; 1952], I prefer to use this heraldic term in the plural form «armiños». In English, however, it is always used in the singular: «Ermine». Remember that, like all furs, being composed of a metal and a color, it is not subject to the rule of tinctures, allowing a charge of ermine on a field of either metal or color, as well as a charge of metal or color on a field of ermine.

Delineation, ratios and angles of a basic chevron.

Frente a los que denomino cabrio clásico y cabrio abierto, este se traza por el simple cruce de una banda y una barra.

Produce un desigual reparto de los espacios vacíos del campo, amplio por encima, escaso por debajo. Dependiendo del diseño que se haya que realizar, esto puede ser una ventaja o un inconveniente.

Por ejemplo, en este caso del escudo de Juan de Ladbrooke, no hay cargas ni figuras para las que habilitar espacio, sólo es un cabrio de armiños, por lo que esta forma de diseño puede ser adecuada y, más aún, si se desea un clara y patente representación del azur.

Sobre cómo se calculan los 50,2^o del ángulo de este cabrio, empleando el arcotangente de 6/5, puede consultarse el artículo que lleva por título esquema de una banda y una barra.

G0116, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta's grant for the arms of Andrew Ronald McMillan Bell of Auchinreoch, United Kingdom. These arms have been emblazoned by me for such grant. The English term «terraced», sometimes used in blazon, is equivalent to the term «compartment». In Castilian blazon we use the term «terrazado», in this case as an element outside the shield, while «terrazado» also exists inside the shield in base.
