Above the shield is the helmet, with on top the '''wreath''' or torse. On top of the helmet is the '''crest''' and from the helmet protective cloth falls down, the '''mantling'''. The shield is held (or supported) by two '''supporters''' and the whole stands on the '''compartment'''. The '''motto''' is placed on a ribbon over the compartment. Instead of a helmet crowns are also often used.
