Seeblatt (Period)

A seeblatt is a Germanic representation of a water-lily leaf, drawn in a highly stylized manner:  heart-shaped, with a cruciform or trefoil incision in chief.  It is a period charge, found in the arms of Ribbing, 1295 [Volborth 131].  Note that “seeblätter” is the usual plural form of “seeblatt”.

In Society armory, a correctly drawn seeblatt is now granted difference from a heart.  For related charges, see nesselblatt.
