emblasoner

Emblasoner is a term used in heraldry to describe the act of depicting or describing a coat of arms, crest, or other heraldic charge. It refers to the process of formally presenting the visual elements and their associated meanings according to the rules of blazonry. To emblason a coat of arms is to translate its visual components into a standardized written description, known as the blazon. This blazon serves as the official definition of the heraldic achievement. Conversely, emblasoner can also refer to the act of creating the visual representation of a coat of arms based on its blazon. This involves an artist or engraver interpreting the written description and rendering it in a graphical form, adhering to the conventions of heraldic art. The term emphasizes the deliberate and systematic nature of displaying or recording heraldic symbols.
