Breast distilling three gouts (Period)

A breast is an organ that produces milk for suckling.  In heraldry, the usual breast is the human (woman’s) breast, sometimes explicitly blazoned so.  It’s a period charge, found in the canting arms (from the colloquial “dug”) of Dodge, 1531 [Dennys 144].  The breast must always be depicted distilling gouts, to distinguish it from a roundel; Society rulings require the gouts to have some contrast (i.e., not be the same tincture) as their breast.

When blazoned “proper”, the breast follows the same Society blazon conventions as full humans proper, as described under human figure.
