ANIMALS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE DEFAULTED LOOKING TO THE LEFT AND THAT IS NOT DESCRIBED IN THE "BLAZON" {DESCRIPTION}. FACING ANY OTHER DIRECTION HAS AN ADDED DESCRIPTION.

ALSO IT IS GENERALLY ASSUMED THAT AN IMAGE IS "DEXTER" OR RIGHT HANDED. THUS IT IS NOT USUALLY IN THE BLAZON. AS LEFT HANDEDNESS WAS CONSIDERED SATANIC OR EVIL, THE TERM "SINISTER" {LEFT} IS ADDED FOR DEVICES FACING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND THIS IS NOTED IN THE BLAZON.

BELOW WE HAVE THE BASIC TERMS AND AN EXAMPLE TO DEMONSTRATE IT. THIS WORK IS FAR FROM COMPLETE SO IF YOU SPOT AN ERROR OR OMISSION PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT US WEBMASTER@STANDAUFFISH.NET

FOR OUR SAMPLES WE WILL USE THE LION AS THAT IS WHERE WE HAVE THE MOST COMPLETE SET OF SAMPLES AND THE LION IS A VERY COMMON HERALDIC SYMBOL. WE ARE ALWAYS SEEKING MORE IMAGES TO ADD TO THE COLLECTION.
