marginheaded

Marginheaded is a term primarily used in heraldry, particularly in the study of armorial bearings and coats of arms. In heraldic design, a marginheaded depiction is usually a horseshoe or an animal's head (commonly a horse, goat, or deer) whose mouth is directed towards the outer margin of a shield or escutcheon.

Dating back to the 15th century, the term "marginheaded" originated as a descriptive term for a distinct style of shield decoration. Horses were frequently used to illustrate this type of design, often forming part of a larger coat of arms emblem. Researchers suggest the use of marginheaded designs to be largely limited to English armorial achievements, but with some other European continent examples documented.

Marginheaded horses often face the outer edge of the shield and curve around the outer rim. Sometimes, animals are depicted in an upright or ascending position from this edge point, ac with the same shape as a fleur-de-lis.
