Azure, a wolf's head caboshed Argent, in chief three monstrances in fess proper.

Escudo de azur, una cabeza de frente de lobo de plata, acompañada en jefe de tres custodias en faja al natural.

Arms interpreted by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with a rounded trapezoidal outer contour and with a metal and iridescent finishing.

Coat of arms of Barbaro Jonathan Lopez Linares, Cuba, designed by him and emblazoned by me. In English heraldry the term caboshed applies to the head of any animal shown affronty, but it always refers only to the head, with no part of the neck visible; for example, one may blazon «a bull’s head caboshed» or «a wolf’s head caboshed», whereas if the neck is shown the proper term is «a bull’s head couped affronty»; in other words, a head caboshed does not show any of the neck, it is just the animal’s face; this usage of caboshed is valid both for horned animals such as the stag, the goat, or the bull, and also for hornless animals such as the wolf; in Castilian heraldry, however, [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 2002] defines reencuentro specifically for the frontal head of the bull, and by extension for other horned animals such as the stag or the goat; thus, for a wolf, one should properly blazon simply «una cabeza de lobo de frente» ~ «a wolf’s head affronty»; finally, the [Real Academia Española; 2014] standardizes the spelling «reencuentro» with double «e», although it also accepts the shorter variant «rencuentro», which is the one I personally prefer to use. In heraldry, when a monstrance is blazoned proper, it is understood that the entire structure of the object is of the metal Or, with its characteristic details such as rays, sunburst, or base also in gold, and that inside it the Host is visible in Argent; therefore, a «monstrance proper» must always appear in gold with the silver Host at its center.

Azure, a wolf's head caboshed Argent, in chief three monstrances in fess proper. Motto: «Fiat Voluntas Tua».

Escudo de azur, una cabeza de frente de lobo de plata, acompañada en jefe de tres custodias en faja al natural. Lema: «Fiat Voluntas Tua».

Coat of arms emblazoned by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with a rounded trapezoidal external shape and with a watercolor finish.

Coat of arms of Barbaro Jonathan Lopez Linares, Cuba, designed by him and emblazoned by me. These are canting arms, as the main charge of the coat of arms is a wolf ~ lupus ~ Lope ~ Lopez. In heraldry, beasts are usually depicted in an aggressive attitude, for example, with gaping jaws, protruding tongue, and visible fangs; in this case, it was the armiger’s wish that his wolf should not display such an aggressive expression; in my interpretation, I deliberately avoided those features of ferocity and instead sought to give the wolf a dignified and imposing look, one that inspires respect rather than open aggressiveness.
