Bend-per two Piles, Triple Pointed Bowed and CounterposedVariants: Bend-per two Piles, Triple Pointed Bowed and Counterposed
A good example of describing quite a complicated shape in blazon. Lets build it piece by piece. Per bend, the field divided in half by a diagonal line. Two piles can be imagined to be overlaid and merged into the bend line. Counterpoised indicating the two piles should come issue, in opposing directions from the dividing line and not interfere with each other. Triple pointed indicating the files have three points as if three piles were merged. Bowed indicates the points of the piles should bend downwards.
