Faces

Faces лица Во французских гербах человеческое лицо иногда встречается на геральдических фигурах, таких, как круги, и т.д., а в английских гербах лицо обычно имеет солнце. Leopards' and bucks' faces also occur, signifying that the head is caboshed, i.e. shewing only the front portion, and badly expressed. Bacchus' faces is a term also found, but in this case it would have been more correct if they had been blazoned heads.
