Pall (heraldry)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A pall is a Y-shaped heraldic charge. An example of a (fesswise) pall is the green portion of the Flag of South Africa.

A pall that stops short of the shield's edges is called a shakefork or pairle.

Traditionally, a pall on a shield often indicates a connection with the clergy, particularly bishoprics.
