Order of the Pelican
Achievement: Silver or white
helmet (may be garnished in gold), cap of maintenance of red velvet with
the lining turned up plumetty argent gouty de sang in place of the torse,
and mantling.
How to draw it: The tails of
the chapeau are on the back of the hat. A red drop is put on every other
plume of the turned-up lining.
Alternatives: 1) The cap of maintenance without the helm, sitting on the shield. 2)
The helm with a pelican (whole or demi-) vulning itself, as a crest. For
this option, the pelican may merge into the mantling, and, if desired,
the mantling may then be argent gouty de sang, doubled gules (or the main
color of the arms). It is not required.
Optional: A crest (if the recipient has a
suitable badge registered, or the pelican if preferred), supporters, compartment,
and motto.
