Blazon

Blazon is the formal language used to describe a coat of arms or heraldic shield in precise, standardized terms. It allows heralds and enthusiasts to accurately record and replicate heraldic designs by detailing colors, symbols, arrangements, and other features through specific heraldic terminology. Think of it as a specialized "description language" that ensures everyone understands exactly what a coat of arms looks like, regardless of language or location. This precise vocabulary helps maintain consistency and clarity in heraldry across generations and regions.
