OSCAR: Online System for Commentary and Response

This item was on the 08-2014 LoAR

OSCAR finds the name on the Atlantia LoI of December 31, 2013 as submitted.

Vert, a bear rampant sable within a bordure embattled argent.

While black charges on green backgrounds were rare in period heraldry, they did exist. Orle found examples of black complex charges on a green field, brown bears on low contrast field, bordures engrailed, and embattled ordinaries. The following examples were all found in period Italian heraldry. We feel that these examples clearly establish an individually attested pattern according to SENA A.4.

Additional discussion about the device can be found in Atlantia's letter of presentation. http://oscar.sca.org/kingdom/kingloi.php?kingdom=9&loi=2564
