The poses of the lion are followed in a general way by other animals, both natural and “heraldic”; but in many instances the attitudes are called by different names for different creatures, a practice that was usual in mediaeval times, and also has its present examples, such as that two partridges are a brace and two hounds a couple, which need hardly be further specified. The Stag, emblematic of speed and sport rather than of combative virtues, has a special set of terms, which were naturally borrowed in part from those used in hunting. Thus he is “_at gaze_” when standing with his head affrontée, but when he stands with his head in profile he is _statant_ like any other beast; _springing_ when in the salient position, _trippant_ when he is walking, _at speed_ when running, and when couched he is _lodged_, and so he must be described in the blazon. His antlers, which are called _attires_, must, if they are of a different colour, be carefully mentioned and also his hoofs in a similar case, e.g. Azure a stag trippant Arg. attired and unguled (i.e. hoofed) Or. A distinction is made between the stag and other horned animals in that the latter are said to be _armed_ with their horns, as in the crest of the Duke of Bedford, a goat statant Arg. armed Or. Horses and other maned animals, real and imaginary, are _crined_ of their manes. Thus, the supporters of the Goldsmiths Company (Fig. 104) are unicorns or, armed, crined and hoofed arg. (in some examples purpure). This treatment of the Goldsmiths’ arms was designed, like those of the Grocers Company at p. 64, to harmonize with early eighteenth century decorations. The unicorn has a horse’s head and body with the legs and cloven hoofs of a stag. Its twisted horn issues from the middle of its forehead, and its tail is that of a lion, the foregoing examples which have horses’ tails being extremely rare exceptions to the general rule.
