armorial

A golden eagle, the armorial ensign of the Ripperda family, crested the centre arch.

I should like to see M. le Suisse take the trouble to open that armorial door for us.

It is of oak, richly carved and painted; and covered profusely with verses, armorial bearings, and devices.

To take a single instance: the poems never allude to the personal armorial bearings of the heroes.

You enter a great paneled hall decorated with armorial bearings, with portraits, and with banners.
