The decorative flourish which was often placed by Heraldic Art ists under the feet, hooves or paws of supporters, chiefly in the 19th Century , was disparagingly known by some as the "gas bracket," although this term never had any official currency; the only case in which something similar was ever actually mentioned in the blazon was the "arabesque" vert on which the Whale supporters of Zaanstad , Noord Holland , the Netherlands , balance. Usually when arms are augmented by supporters, a compartment will be added too. In rare cases, a compartment might be granted as an Augmentation . A compartment without supporters is possible but practically unknown, with the exception of the Coat Of Arms Of South Australia . A compartment is usually some kind of landscape (in the case of Scottish chiefs it is generally a "mount vert" mount covered with the clan's flower) or seascape, and these can be quite elaborate, particularly in more recent contain another unique compartment. |
