Azure, upon a sea in base an anchor palewise Or entwined by a dolphin Argent; chapé ployé Gules, two fleurs de lis Or.

Escudo de azur, sobre un mar moviente de la punta, un ancla puesta en palo de oro entrelazada de un delfín de plata; cortinado curvilíneo de gules, dos flores de lis de oro.

Coat of arms painted by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with an ogee outer contour and with a freehand finish.

G0087: the coat of arms of Germano Catanzaro, of Italy, as granted by the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta and emblazoned by me for this grant. The English «chapé» is «cortinado» in Castilian, and the English «chapé ployé» is «cortinado curvilíneo» in Castilian; both English terms are of French origin. «Chapé» and «chapé ployé» must issue from the upper edge of the chief. If the division issues from the centre of the shield and is curved, in English it is termed «party per chevron ployé» and in Castilian «mantelado en punta curvilíneo».

I swear by the 1^st rule of heraldry I will never emblazon again an eagle Sable on a field Gules.

The heraldic rule of tinctures: «a colour cannot go on top of another colour and a metal cannot go on top of another metal».

This coat of arms is similar to the arms of Henry VI the Good, Prince of Silesia and Duque of Wroclaw, blazon: «Gules, an eagel displayed Sable».

If it was Edmund Leighton's intention to paint Henry VI, then the justification would be that Silesia is located in Poland and in the Polish heraldic tradition, the sable is considered a neutral tincture, that is neither color nor metal, so they can put the sable on the color gules. But I doubt that the Prince of Silesia and Duke of Wroclaw would have needed to be knighted.
