Baker’s peel charged with breadloaves (Period)

A baker’s peel, or baker’s paddle, is a long-handled wooden spatula, used for placing bread into (and taking it out of) ovens.  It is therefore often shown with manchets, or breadloaves, on the paddle.  The baker’s peel is a period charge, found in the canting arms (Italian pala) of Palazolo, mid-15^th C. [Triv 281].  Its default orientation is palewise, paddle to chief [Parker 450].  See also oar, spade.
