I came across this term in A dictionary of heraldry by Charles Norton Elvin. Has anyone come across it before? A similar word in the form of vilené exists in French blazonry, but has a different meaning (pizzle).

For #InternationalArtistsDay I wanted to share a recent commission, and it felt particularly apt to display this one which is the first to include my own artist mark, which the patron of this piece had encouraged me to develop.

Seen here in Australian skies is a special type of flag used by Scottish Clan Chiefs, known as a pinsel, which may be flown in a Chief's absence by a delegated representative.

I had the opportunity to visit another one of "my" towns. This time, it was Bernartice, whose #coatofarms and #flag I designed earlier this year. This small town holds a surprising story. The prominent feature in its coat of arms, an unfinished bridge, (1/6) #heraldry #vexillology

Happy International Vexillology Day 🎌
In the same spirit & theme as my post on International Heraldry Day, I thought it would be particularly appropriate to share my current thinking on how the Scottish Saltire would look had it been realised as a Japanese monshō 🏴🇯🇵
