Supporter
In
heraldry,
supporters are figures usually placed on either side of the
shield and depicted holding it up. These figures may be real or imaginary animals, human figures, and in rare cases plants or inanimate objects. Often these can have local significance, such as the fisherman and the tin miner granted to Cornwall County Council, or a historical link, such as the lion of England and unicorn of Scotland in the two variations of the
Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom. The arms of nutritionist
John Boyd-Orr use two
garbs (wheat sheaves) as supporters; the arms of the
USS Donald Cook,
missiles; the arms of the state of
Rio Grande do Norte in Brazil, trees.
Letters of the
alphabet are used as supporters in the arms of
Valencia, Spain.
