Rastrillo (Period)

A rastrillo is a charge from Spanish armory, of uncertain origin.  It has been described variously as a form of portcullis and as the head of a rake.  It is certainly a period charge, found in the arms of Sarasa, mid-16th C [Armeria 285].

Isabella Benalcázar bears as a badge:  A rastrillo azure.
