A carbuncle or escarbuncle is a heraldic charge consisting of eight radiating rods or spokes, four of which make a common cross and the other four a saltire. The ends typically terminate in a fleur-de-lis or some other decorative form.〔G. Fatás, G. Borrás, Diccionario de términos de Arte y elementos de Arqueología, Heráldica u Numismática. Alianza Editorial. Madrid. 2008. ISBN 9788420636573〕 Frequently the centrepoint is adorned with a jewel; the name may therefore be a reference to a carbuncle gemstone. It has its origins in the iron bands and bosses historically used to strengthen shields.〔Fox-Davies, Arthur Charles (1909). ''A Complete Guide to Heraldry'', p. 291. New York: Dodge Pub. Co. ISBN 0-517-26643-1. LCCN 09-23803〕 The name may therefore be derived from the Old French ''boucle'', meaning a shield boss. ==Gallery== File:Coat of arms of Geoffrey de Mandeville, Earl of Essex and Gloucester.png|Arms of Geoffrey de Mandeville, Earl of Essex and Gloucester: ''Quarterly Or and gules, an escarbuncle sable.''
