Ex. Argent, a pile, azure, issuing from the chief between two others,
transposed.
TREFOIL. Three-leaved grass: the shamrock of Ireland. When a flower or
leaf is introduced as a charge in a shield of arms, if it is of its
natural colour, or, in heraldic language, proper, the tincture is not
named, but if of any other colour it must be described.
[Illustration: Trefoil]
Ex. Argent, three trefoils, gules, one over two.
[Illustration: Tressure]
TRESSURE. An ordinary not so broad as an orle. It generally forms a
border to the inescutcheon. Tressures are frequently borne double,
and sometimes treble. They are generally ornamented flory and
counter-flory. The example contains only a single tressure. The
arms of Scotland exhibit an example of a double tressure flory and
counter-flory, as exhibited in the shield on the title-page of this
Manual. See DOUBLE TRESSURE.

TURBAND. In coats of arms, where the knight was a Crusader, this
figure often appears. It was the form of the sultan's turban at that
period.
[Illustration: Turreted]
TURRETED. A wall or castle having small turrets. In the annexed
example the square tower has circular turrets at the angles, and is
therefore said to be turreted.
TUSKED. Any animal having tusks of a different tincture from its body
is said to be tusked.
[Illustration: Tusked]
Ex. Argent, a boar's head, erased proper, tusked gules.
UNDY. A term used to express the word wavy by Gwillim and other
ancient armorists.
[Illustration: Wavy]
Ex. Argent, a bend undy, gules.
[Illustration: Vair]
VAIR. A kind of fur formerly used for the lining the garments of
knights. It is represented in engraving by the figures of small bells
ranged in lines, as in the annexed example. Unless the colour of the
fur is named, vair is always argent and azure. The bend, the cross and
saltier, are sometimes formed of this fur.
VAMBRACED. Armour for the arms.
[Illustration: Vambraced]
Ex. Argent, three dexter arms, vambraced, couped.
VAMPLATE. A word used by ancient heralds for armour for the hand,

VENUS. The name of the planet, used for the colour vert by ancient
heralds, who emblazoned the arms of sovereigns by planets instead of
metals and colours.
