LABEL

Picture of Label

In heraldry, a label is a barrulet, or sometimes a bendlet, with pendants, or points, usually three, especially used as a cadency mark to distinguish an eldest or only son while his father is still living. When the father died, the eldest son removed the label mark from his arms and became head of the family.
