A dexter arm embowed, garbed in a maunch Gules, holding in its hand carnation, a quill bend sinisterwise Argent, shafted Or.

G0143, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta's grant for the crest of Daniel John Bugeja, Malta. Hand-drawn delineation by me, showing the granted crest. It should be borne in mind that in heraldry there is no fixed or inherent symbolic meaning attached to charges; any symbolic value, where it exists, derives from the intention of the original bearer or the creator of the arms. Nevertheless, heraldic tradition has preserved historical explanations for the origin of certain charges. In this respect, [Wade, W. C.; 1898; pages 115-116] notes that the lady’s sleeve, of very ancient form, entered heraldry through the custom of knights attending tournaments wearing their ladies’ sleeves as «gages d’amour», and that, in adopting this charge, the knight could symbolically declare: «por el honor de mi dama».

Azure, in chief a lozenge Argent between two antlers in pile issuant from a chalice Or.

Coat of arms of Elijah R. emblazoned by me. The image illustrates my three-step process: proportions and delineation; flat colours; and light and shadow. The lozenge is centred in the upper half of the shield. As shown in the proportions and delineation diagram, its centre lies at the intersection of the diagonal joining the dexter chief corner to the midpoint of the sinister flank and the diagonal joining the midpoint of the dexter flank to the sinister chief corner. The width of the lozenge is 1/3 of b, where b is the width of the shield at its base. This width is obtained by constructing the two points given by: 1) the intersection of the diagonal from the dexter chief corner to the base point of the shield with the diagonal from the midpoint of the dexter flank to the sinister base corner; and 2) the intersection of the diagonal from the sinister chief corner to the base point of the shield with the diagonal from the midpoint of the sinister flank to the dexter base corner. The two vertical lines passing through these points divide the shield into three equal parts; this is the same construction traditionally used to divide a shield tierced in pale.

Azure, in chief a lozenge Argent between two antlers in pile issuant from a chalice Or.

Coat of arms interpreted by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with a semi-circular outer contour and with a texturized finishing.

Coat of arms of Elijah R. emblazoned by me. The «lozenge» is the diamond-shaped geometric figure centred in the upper half of the shield; in this coat of arms it is tinctured Argent. The English term «lozenge» is written in Castilian as «losange». The English «cup» corresponds to the Castilian «cáliz», although the latter may also be written as «copón»; in this case I have written «chalice» because that is the term used by the armiger.

Azure, in chief a lozenge Argent between two antlers in pile issuant from a chalice Or.

Escudo de azur, en jefe un losange de plata acompañado de dos cuernas de ciervo en pila salientes de un cáliz todo de oro.

Coat of arms interpreted by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with a semi-circular outer contour and with a metal and iridescent finish.

Coat of arms of Elijah R. emblazoned by me. The English «stag's attire» corresponds to the Castilian «cuerna de ciervo»; the English terms «antler» and, less commonly, «deer's attire» may also be found. In this case I write «antlers» instead of «stag's attires» because «antlers» is the term used by the armiger. To specify that the two antlers are arranged to form a «V», I write «in pile» ~ «en pila».

Azure, in chief a lozenge Argent between two antlers in pile issuant from a chalice Or. Crest: upon a wreath Argent and Azure, a sun Or issuant from clouds Argent, debruised by a demi-stag proper, attired Or. Motto: «In Honorem Dei».

Arms emblazoned by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with a semi-circular external shape and with a freehand finish.

Coat of arms of Elijah R. emblazoned by me. The English term «debruised» is written in Castilian as «resaltado»; I usually write it as «debruised by» ~ «resaltado de», where the charge below is debruised by the one above. It is analogous to «charged by» ~ «cargado de», except that the upper charge projects beyond the surface of the lower one; in this case, parts of the stag project beyond the surface of the sun and the clouds. In English, «stag» corresponds to the Castilian «ciervo», although «deer» is occasionally found instead. When a stag's antlers are of a different tincture from its body, the English term is «attired»; in Castilian I prefer «ramado» to «arcornado». When the animal issues from the wreath, rather than standing upon it, I write «demi» in English and «saliente» in Castilian; «demi» is reminiscent of the Castilian prefix «semi». When the animal is «demi», the animal's default attitude is «rampant» ~ «rampante» unless otherwise specified.
