Meaning of papellony | Babel Free
Examples
“[a sinister gore papellony Or and purpure] The gore was originally blazoned as scaly. Scaly is defined in the Pictorial Dictionary as "a field treatment, consisting of many semi-circles or lunes, covering the field." The overall effect of scaly is of thick lines on a background, as in the field treatment masoned (but with the panes of a different shape⟳ than in masoned.) This gore is tinctured in a form⟳ of papellony, which is also defined in the Pictorial Dictionary. Papellony has two forms. One form⟳ looks much like⟳ scaly, functions as a field treatment, and is blazoned as [background tincture] papellony [treatment tincture]. The other form⟳ of papellony is a field division and is blazoned as papellony [tincture x] and [tincture y]. The second form⟳ is the form⟳ found in this submission. It is drawn using solid panes of alternating tinctures, as in the field lozengy, but with the panes shaped like⟳ solid scales, rather than like⟳ the lozenges in lozengy. See⟳ the Pictorial Dictionary for more discussion. [Ailionóra inghean uí Mhurchadha, 08/2002, A-Calontir]”
